2017 Projection: Potential Starter at Offensive Guard
Officially, it is about 1,800 feet from West Lafayette high school to Ross-Ade Stadium. That is the shortest distance a coach would have to travel in order visit a recruit at his school. Sure, West Lafayette plays its games out on Salisbury and Cumberland, but when the previous coaching staff couldn’t be bothered to offer a kid at Lafayette Central Catholic, at least West Lafayette was close enough.
