2016 Purdue Football Preview: Secondary

If Purdue can find a second cornerback the secondary might not be too bad thanks to some freshmen.

While the front seven should be pretty solid for Purdue, there are some questions in the secondary. We know that two players, Da’Wan Hunte and Leroy Clark, will be starting. Hunte played extensively last year as the backup corner to Anthony Brown and Frankie Williams. Clark was a full-time starter and is an excellent option at safety.

As for the rest? Well, we have some freshmen that will play and the second cornerback spot is still in flux. We have a 5th year senior getting pushed hard by a true freshman at the other safety spot.
