Purdue Football Recruiting: Popeye Williams Top 5

Purdue was in late on one of the top prospects in the state.

Popeye Williams, who has been turning heads since his freshman off-season when he went to camps all over the United States, now has Purdue in his top 5.

Popeye has offers from everyone all over the nation, including schools like Alabama, Georgia, Notre Dame and Auburn.

When the new defensive staff was hired, Popeye became a priority, Coach Mark Hagen who has sent over a dozen of defensive linemen to the NFL, including Purdue greats, Kawaan Short and Ryan Kerrigan, wants Popeye, bad.
