58 Days to Purdue Football: Branson Deen
Today we feature a player that has long been a key cog on the defensive line up front.
Branson Deen - Sr. (5)
Indianapolis, IN (Lawrence Central HS)
6’2”, 280 pounds
Defensive Tackle
2022 Projection: Starter
Deen has had quite a career so far. He was part of the 2018 recruiting class and, like so many defensive linemen do, he redshirted in his first year. Since then he has become a stalwart on the defensive line.
In 2019 he played in nine games as a reserve and finished with 8 tackles. During the 2020 season he was a regular starter and finished with 12 tackles, including a sack against Rutgers that resulted in a safety.
