Boilermakers' 15 Workouts
Robert Gregory got a long look at running back during
the spring and had his moments. The Chicago native,
who came to Purdue as a quarterback, wasn't able
to get much room to roam during the spring game as
the Black defense kept him bottled up for much of the
afternoon. But he was impressive during the scrimmage a week before and could combine with projected
starter Akeem Hunt as a nice 1-2 punch in the fall.
Sydney Becker gets an autograph from Rob Henry
before the spring game. One of Purdue's most popular players, the senior was the target for many fans
before and after the game.
Sanders Stilts, a 4-year-old from Noblesville, does his best
Cradle of Quarterbacks pose during the pregame session that
included lots of kids. Stilts hopes to make the roster in 2027,
though he is not sure yet if he will redshirt.
Running backs coach Jafar Williams didn't have much to work with
during the spring after three of his players suffered injuries. The
former Maryland receiver (2000-03) will have several incoming
freshmen who will be trying to work their way to the field when fall
camp starts in a few months.
