BRAND NEW 2016 SUBARU OUTBACK w w w. B o b R o h r m a n S u b a r u . c o m NOW WHAT? As of late December, Purdue had 14 recruits either signed or committed for 2016, leaving very few left for what will be a smaller-than-normal class. With maybe three or four spots left — maybe fewer — Purdue still has some likely needs. Quarterback: If senior Austin Appleby transfers, the Boilermakers will be left with just two scholarship quarterbacks, both underclassmen. That's a tough spot to be in. The junior college ranks could be an option here. Defensive End: JUCO Austin Larkin gave Purdue one, assuming he does in fact play end. The Boilermak- er coaching staff has recruited like it wants at least one more, most likely a high school prospect. Offensive Tackle: Purdue signed a mid-year J.C. prospect in Ja- len Neal and has a high school tackle, Luke Campbell, committed. It would like one more, with four-star prospect Sean Foster of Chicagoland being a target. He visited officially in Decem- ber. Wide Receiver: Purdue lost a commitment from long-time pledge Nate Johnson, who ultimately wound up committing to Michigan. It would like to replace him. Look for Ohio's Terrance Landers, a long, tall, fast ath- lete to be a prime target. The three-star prospect will visit in January, but has already been on campus several times. — Brian Neubert physical presence than a stereotypical "speed guy" might be. At the very least, he could be a spe- cial teams candidate early in his career, too. j
