2015 Projection: Starting Center

Robert was recruited as a tight end back in 2010 but was moved to Center after his redshirt freshman year in the Spring of 2012 by Danny Hope and Gary Nord. That move turned out to be a smart one as he has a streak of 31 consecutive starts heading into this season and has been one of the best and most consistent players for Purdue over the past couple of years.
