WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Just one week on the job, Purdue Football head coach Ryan Walters announced the addition of 12 new Boilermakers on National Signing Day as part of his first recruiting class.
“We are proud and excited to welcome the newest Boilermakers to the Purdue family, and I cannot wait for them to join us on the journey to win championships,” said Walters. “This is just the beginning of our 2023 signing class. We will return to the recruiting trail and hit the transfer portal to put together a complete class in the spring. Boiler Up!”
After coaching the nation’s No. 1 scoring defense during the 2022 season, Walters’ first Signing Day as head coach featured eight players on that side of the ball. Winston Berglund, Ethon Cole, Zion Gunn and Dillon Thieneman look to provide immediate depth to the secondary. Drake Carlson, Jamarrion Harkless and Will Heldt join Purdue’s defensive line, while Owen Davis becomes the newest Boilermaker linebacker.
Wide receivers have blossomed into All-Americans at Purdue, and the Boilermakers added wideouts Ryne Shackelford and Jaron Tibbs on Signing Day. Ryan Browne, a 6-foot-4 QB, signed with the school known for the Cradle of Quarterbacks, while offensive lineman Jimmy Liston chose to continue his career wearing the Old Gold and Black.
The entire class, along with information about each signee, can be found below.
