Since 2005 starter list was 9, 8, 8, 9, 11, 12, 8, 6, 9, 13 ,10,7,9, 8, 10, 10 and 9 whites. In 2023 they drop to an all time low of 4 projected White starters.

The new head coach is black...something to consider with this drastic drop. This is still a projection with a few OL jobs up for grabs but a very disappointing outlook.

QB Hudson Card transferred over from Texas. Could be a surprise players in the Big Ten.

Players to look at for are QB Bennett Meredith, TE Paul Pfieri, OT Ben Farrell, OL Luke Griffin, OLB Scotty Humpich, OLB Will Heldt, ILB Owen Davis

Offense -
QB - Hudson Card
TE - Garrett Miller
C - Gus Hartwig


Defense -
LB - Ynni Karlaftis
S - Dillon Thieneman

This is really sad news. Purdue has almost always been white friendly. I won't be watching too much of the Boilermakers.

Sad indeed. I did just go off a projection though so hopefully we see a few of our guys end up as starters. Hudson Card could develop into a really good QB.

It's as disappointing as finding out Penn State all of sudden was starting between two and four Whites, two programs that seemed would always be among those that would never go hard-core Caste.

It would be pretty hilarious if Louisville overcomes their caste-driven nature because of Brohm moving from Purdue, but I doubt it.

Midseason True Freshman All-American Team for 2023

DILLON THIENEMAN, S, Purdue

Top247 rank:
No. 74 safety

You could make the argument that Thieneman is already the top player on Purdue’s roster. He leads the Boilermakers in tackles (62) and interceptions (three), and Thieneman has the highest PFF grade of any Purdue starter (78.7). He is both a ball-hawking free safety and heat-seeking missile in the open field. The Boilermakers got a home-state steal with Thieneman.

Dillion Thieneman finishes his freshman year tied for 2nd in the FCS with 6 interceptions. He’s obviously one to watch and should be a future pro.

Edit: FBS. Brain fart.

Good thing his 2 older brothers walked on to blaze the trail for their surname! Finally The 3rd bro with an offer. You know they probably wanted him to walk on as well to make room for real affletes.
