When all is said and done which family will contribute more to Purdue football: The Thienemans or the Anthrops? So far we have had three Anthrops at Purdue, but Dru only played basketball while Danny and Jackson each played football for a total of seven seasons (so far) on the field. Today’s player can give the Thienemans seven since Jacob did not play as a freshman, while Jackson will give the Anthrops eight.
