Purdue Football: Running Back Depth Takes Another Hit

The Running Back Depth Chart has taken another hit.

True Freshman, Ja’Quez Cross has entered the transfer portal, he has been away from the team for multiple weeks, I believe since the Illinois game.

Cross came in as an athlete, as he played both offense and defense at his small high school in 2020. But, he did get a few carries at Purdue, though ineffective, like much of our run game.

Maybe he is wanting to be with a team that is more run heavy, or something closer to home - who knows.
