We are less than five weeks away from the start of Purdue football season. Today we take a look at a walk-on wide receiver.
Ben Van Noord - Sophomore. (RS)
Springfield, OH (Springfield HS)
6’2”, 210 pounds
Wide Receiver
2023 Projection: Reserve
Van Noord came to Purdue as a walk on after being named All Conference in high school. His senior season saw him catch 29 passes for 539 yards and six touchdowns. Van Noord didn’t see the field during the 2021 season so it essentially counts as a redshirt though with walk-ons you just never know how or if they will use that additional year.
