Depth Charts Boilermaker Offense Oklahoma State Defense DE 89 Nigel Nicholas 80 Cooper Bassett 6-3, 269, Sr. 6-5, 270, Sr. DT 91 James Castleman 6-2, 296, So. 94 Anthony Rogers 6-3, 293, Jr. DT 99 Calvin Barnett 98 Davidell Collins 6-2, 299, Jr. 6-5, 267, Jr. DE 96 Ryan Robinson 40 Tyler Johnson 6-4, 250, Sr. 6-1, 240, Jr. SLB 11 Shaun Lewis 27 Lyndell Johnson 5-11, 225, Jr. 6-3, 210, So. MLB 45 Caleb Lavey 52 Ryan Simmons 6-3, 240, Jr. 6-0, 238, R-Fr. WLB 37 Alex Elkins 6-3, 230, Sr. 42 Demarcus Sherod 6-0, 220, R-Fr. CB 19 Brodrick Brown 1 Kevin Peterson 5-8, 185, Sr. 5-11, 170, Fr. SS 7 Shamiel Gary 23 Zack Craig 6-0, 210, Jr. 6-1, 200, Jr. FS 8 Daytawion Lowe 20 Larry Stephens 5-11, 205, Jr. 5-10, 182, Jr. CB 4 Justin Gilbert 6 Ashton Lampkin 6-0, 194, Jr. 5-11, 175, Fr. OSU Special Teams PK 13 Quinn Sharp 6-1, 205, Sr. 90 Bobby Stonebraker 6-0, 165, So. P 13 Quinn Sharp 59 M. Reichenstein 6-1, 205, Sr. 6-4, 212, Jr. PR 17 Charlie Moore 13 David Glidden 6-2, 194, Jr. 5-7, 171, R-Fr. KR 4 Justin Gilbert 31 Jeremy Smith 6-0, 194, Jr. 5-10, 208, Jr. Left Tackle 1. Kevin Pamphile 64 6-5, 300, Jr. Pamphile had some rough sledding in the middle of the year, when he was plagued by penalties. He���s better, although still not as technically sound as one would like from a left tackle. 2. Justin Kitchens 51 6-4, 294, Jr. Left Guard 1. Peters Drey 67 6-6, 302, Sr. (5) Drey is playing like one of Purdue���s better offensive lineman, and you couldn���t have said that early in the season. He���s healthier, more flexible and more agile, all of which has added to him making improvements the last few games. 2. Cody Davis 59 6-5, 286, Jr. Wide Receiver 1. O.J. Ross 4 5-10, 188, Jr. 51 rec., 425 yards, 2 TDs* Ross and Macarthy have proven to be a pretty good combination on the outside for the Boilermakers and give Purdue hope for its wide receiver corps for next season. You���d think that both will be starters. 2. Dolapo Macarthy 16 6-5, 220, R-Fr. Center 1. Rick Schmeig 76 6-3, 305, Sr. (5) Like Drey, Schmeig will play his last game for the Boilermakers in the bowl vs. Oklahoma State. The two have been major contributors on the line for a number of years, as Purdue will look for quality replacements next season. 2. Robert Kugler 57 6-3, 280, R-Fr. Wide Receiver 1. Antavian Edison 13 5-11, 175, Sr. 57 rec., 625 yards, 8 TDs* 12 rush, 29 yards* Since Patrick Higgins took over as offensive play-caller three games ago, Edison hasn���t had a single touch as a rusher out of the backfield. That���s been a good development, considering his limited effectiveness. He���s a good receiver, though, and has shown that this season. 2. Raheem Mostert 8 5-11, 180, So. Quarterback 1. Robert Marve 9 6-1, 212, Sr. (6) 145-of-219 for 1,522 yards, 13 TDs / 3 int.* Marve might hold the key to a Purdue upset of Oklahoma State. If he plays like an All-Star, and he���s capable of doing so, then perhaps the Boilers can put up enough points to stay with the Cowboys. But that might be a lot to ask of one player. 2. Rob Henry 15, 6-2, 200, Jr. ��� OR ��� Caleb TerBush 19, 6-5, 225, Sr. (5) Right Guard 1. Robert Kugler 57 6-3, 280, R-Fr. Kugler���s been the biggest surprise of the season, with his ability to step in to a starting role and become the line���s best and most consistent player. He���ll have a spot for years to come, probably as a center. 2. Devin Smith 71 6-7, 320, Jr. Tight End 1. Crosby Wright 82 6-3, 248, Sr. (5) 22 rec., 283 yards* Wright has been the starter much of the second half of the season and played significantly in the last two games of the year, when Holmes was out with a rib injury. Holmes said he expects to be back for OSU. 2. Gabe Holmes 86 6-5, 247, Jr. Running Back 1. Akeem Shavers 24 5-11, 203, Sr. 167 rush, 778 yards, 6 TDs* 14 rec., 316 yards, 1 TD* Shavers has gotten a bulk of the carries the last few games, and thrived, showing he can be a workhorse-like running back. Bolden (hamstring) had improved significantly in the days leading up to the game and expected to play. 2. Ralph Bolden 23 5-9, 200, Sr. (5) Right Tackle 2. Justin Kitchens 51 6-4, 294, Jr. Kitchens has solidified Purdue���s right tackle spot, which had been largely handled by Foy until the last few games of the season. Kitchens is more athletic, which is a trait the Boilers have coveted in their offensive linemen. 2. Trevor Foy 78 6-7, 300, Jr. Wide Receiver 1. Gary Bush 6 6-0, 185, Jr. 41 rec., 360 yards, 7 TDs* Bush has shown some bigplay ability with his seven touchdowns this season, but he���s also become a more reliable receiver, holding onto the ball rather than suffering through drops. Torwudzo played a little late in the season. 2. Charles Torwudzo 17 6-4, 223, So. Purdue Special Teams Kicker Sam McCartney 43 6-4, 215, R-Fr. ��� OR ��� Paul Griggs 37 6-1, 200, Fr. Kick Return Akeem Hunt 11 5-9, 184, So. Punter Cody Webster 42 6-1, 210, Jr. Punt Return Frankie Williams 6 5-9, 186, R-Fr. 2. Raheem Mostert 8 5-11, 180, So.
