4⭐️ 2027 ATH Jai Jones took an Official Visit this past weekend to Purdue.
Currently committed to Wisconsin.
#7 ATH in the 2027 class according to Rivals.
Jones’ stats in 10 games:
35 Rec - 578 yards - 6 TDs
6 Tckls - 2 INTs - 5 PBUs
Plays both sides of the ball at a high level, but Purdue is recruiting him as a cornerback.
Jones at WR is a great route runner making him a threat downfield.
At CB he is textbook and after watching his games I can say he is lockdown.
Enjoyed my time at Purdue with my family this past weekend visiting the staff and @Coach_Odom. Been camping with the Odom’s since i was 12 at UNLV. Thank you for the opportunity!

Purdue finally makes the move and fires DC Kevin Kane.
I honestly am surprised they did it during the season even though he should be fired especially after that performance yesterday.
I don’t know if this will affect Purdue too much for the rest of this season, but I think this needed to happen for improvement next year.
2028 WR David Yharbrough will be on a game day visit this weekend.
Can really take the top off of the defense averaging 23.4 YPC. Gets past DBs with ease.
Purdue Football recruiting is heating up🔥
DB commit Roman Combs shutdown his recruitment after being recruited by IU and Texas Tech
Purdue is expected to host a couple 2028 blue-chip recruits this weekend.
Also hosting many 2028 recruits being recruited by other P4 programs.
4⭐ 2027 WR commit Trenton Yancey and Duncanville(TX) beat Lake Ridge(TX) by a score of 35-16 last Friday night.
Yancey's Game 9 stats:
4 Rec - 40 Yards
2 Carries - 12 Yards - 1 TD
Yancey is such a dynamic playmaker that you have to find ways to get him the ball. If he gets into the open field it is very hard to catch him.
Great route runner who is such a secure go to guy at WR. If Duncanville needs to make plays, Yancey will make plays.
3⭐ 2027 RB commit Izayveon Moore and Lawrence North(IN) defeated Lawrence Central(IN) in there first Sectional game last Friday.
Moore's Game 1 Playoff stats:
24 Carries - 127 Yards - 1 TD
1 Catch - 5 Yards
Moore continues to be the bellcow back. He has that DAWG mentality and will always fight for extra yardage.
Electric playmaker out of the backfield and has consistently been a top RB in the state of Indiana since his Freshman Year. Arguably Top 1.
3⭐ 2027 RB commit Amos Bradford helped lead Chaminade Madonna(FL) to a 34-7 win over Coconut Creek(FL) last Friday.
Bradford's Game 10 stats:
19 Carries - 166 Yards - 4 TDs
Amos Bradford showed what he can do when he gets more touches. He is an elusive back with an impressive burst off his cuts.
He gets to the 2nd level easily and has a knack for finding the End zone. Now with 12 Rushing TDs on the season
Now for the future of Purdue football. A lot of it starts with money. Purdue has to find a way to get together $15M added on to the current money they are using.
I fault Odom for the Kevin Kane hire, but what did the budget look like for DC. Looking at the rest of the organization I bet there wasn't much money for the role.
National Signing Day is on Dec 2nd for the 2027 class and the transfer portal opens up on Jan. 2nd. Have to find a way to get the 2027 class to put pen to paper aside from 1 or 2 flips.
It is a MUST for Purdue to retain guys like Ijeboi, Waseem, Brownfield, Schreiber, Easley on offense and Hines, Hayden, Lewis, all the young DTs. Those are just some names. There are many more that need to be retained for depth.
I am starting to be skeptical of Browne. I need to see how he plays the rest of the year. He has looked BAD these last couple of weeks. I thought the bye would help him out, but he honestly got worse. Even if they do retain him I believe they need to bring in someone to battle for the starting spot. I think you keep Browne the experienced QB and then go get a young backup with tons of potential.
The future of Purdue Football largely falls in the hands of AD Tommy McClelland.
@OhioBoiler1 Oh 100%. Money is probably being thrown at all the guys. Waseem, Hines, Ijeboi, etc. It is on Purdue to retain them.
On the contrary I bet Purdue is already looking at portal guys. I mean I am not sure but it is just how the game works nowadays.
Just a really disappointing performance from Purdue tonight. Penn State is not a good team and Purdue was dominated.
Schemes need to change on both sides of the ball. Offensively the slow RPO scheme doesn't fit for Purdue. Purdue doesn't have a good enough OLine for the gameplan OC Josh Henson wants. Ijeboi is getting hit in the backfield and a couple of times he was tackled before the handoff was even completed.
Defensively, I have held back in the past but Kevin Kane has to go. Offenses are getting whatever they want against Purdue. Kane is immune to change aswell. There are no adjustments being made, so the Purdue defense continues to get slashed.
Ryan Browne has started to look like 2025 Ryan Browne. His mechanics look bad again. Throwing the ball off of his back foot. Granted he is getting clobbered in the backfield.
The OLine adjustments didn't make much sense to me tonight. Why is Banuelos still playing? Take Jude put him at LT. Put Mafi at LG and benching Easley just was an awful decision. Put Easley in for Banuelos. Adjustments need to be made again.
On defense there is no pushback against the OLine. LBs are slow. Correa just isn't it. Hayden has looked better. Safeties are still atrocious. I really like Hudauri Hines at CB.
Henson and Odom need to break ties with "their guys" and accept Banuelos and Correa just aren't it.
I like to stay as positive as possible because this page is for recruits and of course I want them to see Purdue in a positive light, but I am sorry there are just some things that needed to be said.
