Freshman Football Spotlight: Bryce Austin

Related Topics: Austin, Chris Neal, Purdue University

Name: Bryce Austin

Position & Size: Interior Defensive Line (Nose), 6-2, 290 Pounds

Hometown: Southfield, Michigan (Southfield HS)

Strengths: Strength, Solid hands, ability to leverage offensive linemen, burst off the snap

Weaknesses: Lateral Quickness, pad level high

2020 Prediction: Redshirt

While Purdue is always looking for play makers on the defensive line, the return of Lorenzo Neal Jr, I believe will push Bryce to a possible redshirt in 2020.

Neal, along with Lawrence Johnson should be the two primary anchors in the new 3-4 defense.
