41 Days Until Purdue Football: Jacob Thieneman

2018 Projection: Starter at safety

If you were like me last summer, you though T.J. Jallow had the strong safety starting spot locked up. But, after a poor spring and summer, the job was wide open.

Walk on, Jacob Thieneman seized the job and never looked back. He started in 13 games and quite frankly was one of our best players on defense.
