In a somewhat surprising turn of events, Steven Faucheux verbally committed to Purdue’s 2019 recruiting class last night. I can’t stress enough how important this commitment is for the Boilermakers. Defensive tackle is one of the hardest positions to recruit, because of the lack of truly elite interior linemen coming out of high school. There are only 5 4* defensive tackles in the Midwest in the 19’ class, making this an even more impressive recruiting coup for Purdue.
Let’s take a look at what exactly Faucheux brings to the table.
You can see in the film that Faucheux is a 3 technique defensive tackle.
