6 Days to Purdue Football: Jalen Graham

Defensive touchdowns are fun, but Purdue only seems to get one per season. Today’s player had the 2020 defensive score.

Jalen Graham - Jr.

Detroit, MI (Cass Tech HS)

6’3”, 220 pounds

Safety/Linebacker

2021 Projection: Starter

Graham has a large role in 2021. He will likely play the hybrid safety/outside linebacker position that is so critical in today’s defenses. That means he needs to be ready for both the run and the pass.

He is ready though. In 2019 as a true freshman he played in 11 games and started eight.
