OF
THE
WEEK
"#BoilerUp and I'm excited to play next year in
the Big Ten and make my mark on history!!"
Alabama center Isaac Haas (@Isaacbball44) on Monday morning, making a surprise commitment to Purdue after not signing with Wake Forest the week before.
The Big Reveal
Here are brief notes from Darrell Hazell this week.
R Purdue will honor its 21 seniors during a ceremony on the Ross-Ade Stadium field at about 11:46
on Saturday, a few minutes before the Boilermakers kick off vs. Illinois.
R Hazell hopes DeAngelo Yancey is available Saturday, after the freshman receiver missed Wednesday's practice due to a hamstring injury. Purdue is already without B.J. Knauf, who has a high ankle sprain
and will miss the final two games.
R Two defensive starters — Ryan Russell and Sean Robinson — have not practiced this week. Russell
has been ill, while Robinson is dealing with concussion symptoms, suffered during the Penn State game.
