Another transfer for the countdown today.
Ian Jeffries is part of the immediate plan to fix the Boilermaker Defense that was one of the worst the last two seasons.
Jeffries, who redshirted this past season at Arkansas State finds himself in the Midwest now, with hopes of stopping some of the best rush offenses in the country.
At 6-4, 290 pounds, there is no doubt that Barry Odom’s defense will need the young big man to play if Purdue had aspirations of stopping the run.
At Arkansas State, he played just 32 snaps, but as a high school player he was a 3 star prospect and the 102nd ranked DT by On3.
In the rugged Big Ten, sometimes the game comes down to the game of attrition, at minimum, Jeffries provides Purdue size and depth.
