Coach Jeff Brohm has compiled a top-25 recruiting class for the 2019 season. He didn’t have to go very far to get his top recruit, George Karlaftis, a four-star defensive end from West Lafayette High School.
Karlaftis is the number 1 recruit out of the state of Indiana, and the 48th highest ranked recruit in the nation. He turned down offers from USC, Alabama, Clemson, Florida, and Michigan. He is a big piece of the first full recruiting class for Coach Brohm, and a major get for a program that stuck in a state usually void of top caliber talent.
