Purdue is dangerously thin this year at linebacker. Counting a pair of walk-ons and an incoming true freshman there are only seven linebackers on the entire roster. Of those seven, only one has extensive experience (and he might be Purdue’s best player overall). That leaves a lot of questions, and hopefully today’s player can be an answer.

We pretty much have no choice but have Jones be a major contributor this year.
