Purdue entered last season in a bit of a pinch. Tario Fuller was the expected starter at running back, but broke his jaw in fall camp and was sidelined for much of the year. Richie Worship never got fully healthy from a torn ACL. That forced today’s player into a featured role early.

2020 Projection: starter at running back
Things kind of started slowly for Doerue last season. He only had one carry for one yard in the opener against Nevada, but a few weeks later he ran 20 times for 94 yards, caught four passes for 32 yards, and scored three touchdowns in the loss to Minnesota.
