8 days to Purdue Football: Markell Jones and Kamal Hardy

Today we have perhaps the face of Purdue football right now as one of the two players featured.

Markell Jones – So.

Columbus, IN (Columbus East HS)

5’11”, 210 pounds

Running Back

2016 Projection: Starting running back

Markell Jones set a large number of records for rushing in the state of Indiana in high school. Does that mean he will leave Purdue as our best running back ever? In high school he scored 360 points in 2014 (fourth most in a single season in state history) and 774 in his career (also fourth in state history).
