Behrendt has been out with an injury, but he will be back soon with even more intensity than before.
He is 6'4 225Ibs making him a big red zone threat at TE and is a great edge setter at DE.

35 Tkls(30 Solo) - 1.0 TFL - 2 INTs - 2 PBU - 1 FF

Shipp fills up the stat sheet and plays all over.
On defense he mostly lines up at Safety and really reads the play and attacks downhill. Great tackler who hits with some pop.

He has helped Warren Central to a 5-0 start and hold the #4 ranking in Indiana.
Kaleb Elkins and Roman Combs both have elite size and athleticism. Will be cool to see how they make an impact for the Purdue DB group.

Sloan's Game 5 stats:
14/18 - 170 Yards

Last night Sloan showed his ability to use his legs when needed. HS stats include sacks into rushing yards, so it is hard to tell the actual stat line.
Sloan is efficient and takes care of the ball, but also possesses the ability to make throws all over the field.
