Purdue will add another Aussie to its list of punters.
A year removed from the graduation of Australian punter, Jack Ansell, Purdue has added another Aussie punter to its squad. Keelan Crimmins, a Melbourne native, was the 3rd ranked punter out of ProKick Australia’s class of 2023 and attended his freshman season with the Mississippi State Bulldogs. Crimmins punted 49 times for 2,003 yards, a 40.88 yard average, and dropped 15 of those punts inside the 20 yard line. His numbers measure right near Jack Ansell last year as Crimmins was 67th nationally in average last season while Ansell was 68th.
I appreciate @Coach_Walters and @CoachPetrilli for the offer to play for Purdue, truly an honor! I’d like to announce my commitment to the @BoilerFootball family. Can’t wait to see what long snapper jumps in the portal to join me and this very talented specialist room! #BoilerUp pic.twitter.com/GfOJX7gJEY

Crimmins is expected to be the starting punter for Purdue this season as the only other punter of the roster is redshirt-sophomore, Bennett Boehnlein. Boehnlein has yet to play in a game for the Boilermakers.
