Dinkins started his career at Kentucky before transferring to Purdue for the 2024-’25 season. He appeared in eight games under Ryan Walters and Coach Odom kept him around despite the roster purge. Last season, when he was in the game, he was head up on a guard. This season, look for Dinkins to play a more traditional 3-tech defensive tackle and get into the opposing backfield next season.
It’s no or never for the Columbus native. Purdue needs him to make the most of his senior season and provide the most reps and production of his career.
