An OL with a long Purdue lineage looks to take the field this season.
#57 – Tom Ewing
Offensive Lineman
6’2”, 300
Redshirt Sophomore
Westfield, Indiana
Previous school: Westfield High School
Projection: Depth Offensive Lineman
Today’s countdown focuses on a former walk-on to the Purdue program in Tom Ewing. The 6’2, 300 lb offensive lineman comes by way of Westfield High School, the same as former Boilermaker Dillon Thieneman and PG Braden Smith. Ewing comes from a long line of Boilermakers as his great-grandfather, grandmother, and both parents were Purdue alumni. On the field, Tom has not yet had an opportunity to play in his 2 seasons with the team. Perhaps the change in coaching staff as well as another offseason to train and learn will afford Ewing a chance to get on the field in 2025. For now, we have him slated as a depth piece on the offensive line.
