91 Days to Purdue Football: Ben Buechel & Dontay Hunter II

Today is the first day with two players on the countdown, as you can have players where the same number as long as one is on offense and one is on defense.

Ben Buechel - Fr. (RS)

New Berlin, WI (Eisenhower HS)

6’3”, 235 pounds

Tight End

2021 Projection: Likely reserve

Buechel came to Purdue as a preferred walk-on before last season. He was originally committed to play at Air Force, but switched to Purdue after a senior season of 25 passes for 339 yards and four touchdowns.
