1 Day to Purdue Football: D.J. Knox & Dedrick Mackey

We’ve reached the end! We’re 36 hours from kickoff, so here are the final two players on the countdown.

Fairburn, GA (Creekside HS)

5’7”, 210 pounds

Running Back

2018 Projection: Contributor at running back

Knox has had an interesting career. As a true freshman in 2014 he avoided a redshirt, but Darrell Hazell only played him on special teams. That led to three tackles and not a single carry. He did play in all 12 games, however.

The next season Knox won the starting running back job out of fall camp and started with a bang.
