17 Days to Purdue Football: Chris Jefferson & Christian Gelov

Both of today’s players are recent transfers into the program, but only one saw action last season.

Chris Jefferson - Sr. (5)

5’11”, 190 pounds

Safety

2022 Projection: Starter

Jefferson is a player that came to Purdue last season in order to prove himself. At Findlay University in Ohio he was a two-time Division II All-American and his conference’s defensive player of the year in 2020. With the ability to grad transfer, plus the free COVID year, he decided to step up a level as a challenge.
