Junior College Football, Why Purdue Needs More From Juco Level

Purdue has two incoming players that are coming from the Junior College ranks.

Geovonte Howard, a 3* cornerback from Kilgore Junior College out of Texas and DaMarcus Mitchell, a 3* 6-4, 255 Pound linebacker from Southwest Mississippi Community College.

Both are built like grown men and more than likely, will be plug and play guys at their respected positions.

These two will also be the only two former Junior College players that will be on the active roster this coming season. Quite frankly, I think we need more on the roster.

Howard and Mitchell, our incoming junior college players, will be expected to play a lot of snaps, as well as being leaders, as they will be some of the older players on the defense.
