On July 30th, TJ Sheffield, a composite 4* WR out of Thompson Station, TN (just south of Nashville) committed to Purdue, hopefully ending a rather tumultuous recruitment that saw him decommit from Tennessee and then have his commitment rejected by Notre Dame. UT and Notre Dame’s loss is Purdue’s gain, as Sheffield has the skill set to be a game breaker in the Brohm offense.
At 5’10, 170 pounds, Sheffield projects as a slot receiver in the Boilermaker offense. His high school team also utilizes him in this capacity, which should make for a smooth transition. Based on the tape I’ve seen, he’s an explosive player (obviously) but I also came away impressed with his hands.
