Darius Pittman Leaves Purdue Football

Photo by Robin Alam/Icon Sportswire via Getty ImagesThere was some surprise news tonight, as confirmed by Tom Dienhart at Gold and Black Illustrated:

Pittman only had two receptions for 23 yards in his career and a random kickoff return for 16 yards back in 2017. Still, he was a major contributor as a blocking tight end and on special teams. He had played in 24 of a possible 27 games to this point, including last Friday night at Nevada. He had a random kickoff return of 11 yards on Friday night on Purdue’s final possession, but that was the only time he touched the ball.

It is interesting that Pittman decided to leave like this so suddenly when he had been a contributor since the first game…
