91 Days to Purdue Football: Ben Buechel & Dontay Hunter II
Nikos Frazier | Journal & Courier, Lafayette Journal & Courier via Imagn Content Services, LLCToday 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.
Buechel projects as a reserve this year with Payne Durham, Garrett Miller, and Kyle Bilodeau getting most of the snaps.
