Yesterday morning when I was working on the “Days to Purdue Football” post I had no idea who Brandon Prince was. To me, he was a name on the roster with a number. All Purdue listed for his bio was that he was a senior that joined the team for spring practice and his last college was UAB.
That piqued my interest. UAB was forced to close its program for two years as part of a power struggle with the parent campus in Tuscaloosa, so unless players had transferred immediately like Indiana’s Jordan Howard they had not played football at all in two years.
