Thank You, Markus Bailey

Markus Bailey was a “lock” to go to Duke in that 2015 class.

Then, he chose Purdue - a great decision for one of the better players the last 4 years at Purdue.

He played in two games his freshman year before getting injured and redshirting.

Then he was a mainstay for Purdue at Linebacker, playing both outside and inside linebacker during his career. Penciled in as a starter in all four seasons.

His best season came last year in 2018, where he had 115 total tackles, and stayed healthy - he played in 13 games last year and 13 games as a sophomore as well, where he totaled 89 tackles.
