Purdue and Jeff Brohm’s renewed focus on in state talent paid off today. Elijah Ball, a 6’1’’ 190 3* DB from Ben Davis High School (Indianapolis) committed to the Boilermakers. Ball holds offers from Cincinnati, Colorado St., and several M.A.C. schools.
Coach Holt has clearly shown a preference for tall, physical DB’s in this recruiting cycle, and Ball fits the mold perfectly. Purdue will be playing a good bit of zone behind an aggressive front 7, making tackling at the corner position vital. Ball not only shows solid coverage instincts, but is also good in run support, and has the size and desire to put a big hit on a receiver.
