The Boilers received their fifth verbal commitment for the 2016 class yesterday in wide receiver Benaiah Franklin.
Purdue has had a nice little jolt in football recruiting this week and it continued yesterday when the Boilers picked up verbal commit #5 for 2016. Benaiah Franklin, out of Marietta, Georgia, is a 6'1", 200ish pound athlete that was recruited to play wide receiver. He's a 2-star recruit according to Rivals and 3-star according to 247sports. Other schools that extended offers include Arkansas State, Georgia Southern, and Miami (OH), among others.
Like the other recruits from earlier in the week, Franklin is fast, strong, and smart.
