Here's some more of what ESPN says about Purdue's football recruiting class:
"If anyone was disappointing in the Big Ten in 2005, it was Purdue. With so many starters returning, a nice schedule and a solid defense and quarterback, many in West Lafayette had Big Ten title hopes.
With 22 commitments so far, Purdue is obviously looking for some immediate help and has heavily recruited the junior college ranks. With nine JUCO kids and one prep schooler already having committed, the Boilermakers are trying to patch some holes.
At the high school level, this is a group of good players with no real standouts. QB Jeff Panfil (Fort Worth-North Crowley, Texas) is the Southwest's version of Washington Huskies QB commit Jake Locker. He can make plays with his arm and legs and has tremendous upside.
Athlete Jeff Lindsay (Macomb-L'Anse Creuse North, Mich.) was a quarterback in high school but will likely make the move to safety or tight end in college. He reminds me of former Boliermakers safety Stuart Schweigert.
With the departure of QB Brandon Kirsch to the NFL, Purdue has landed two other quarterback prospects in Chris Caflisch (San Antonio-Madison, Texas), who also can play another position, and Keith Smith (Killeen-Shoemaker, Texas).
As usual, Purdue has a strong presence in Texas with six verbal commitments. "
