32 Days to Purdue Football: Elijah Ball

Purdue has some openings in the defensive backfield heading into his year, and today’s player may be ready to fill one.

Indianapolis, IN (Ben Davis HS)

Linebacker

2020 Projection: Contributor at linebacker

I was surprised to see Ball listed as a linebacker on the official roster, as he has played mostly defensive back so far. As a true freshman in 2018 he appeared in a pair of games and had a tackle against Illinois. He maintained his redshirt and saw further action in eight games last season.
