WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – After attacking the transfer portal during his first two months on the job, Purdue Football head coach Barry Odom welcomed two new Boilermakers on National Signing Day (Feb. 5). The addition of defensive end Mason Alnutt and defensive back Maxwell Barbee on Wednesday brought the 2025 Purdue signing class to 40 new Boilermakers (29 transfers, 11 high school signees).
"We are excited about this class, which is a great mix of high school and transfer talent," said Odom. "This class will provide a strong foundation to the future success of this program. I'm very appreciative of the assistant coaches and all involved in the recruiting process to build this class. Purdue University is a special place, and I know these guys will promote the values within the Purdue and Greater Lafayette communities."
The incoming class features players from 19 different states as well as two Canadian provinces. Odom and his staff brought in talent from all three phases of the game with 19 defensive players, 20 offensive players and one punter. All 29 transfers, along with six high school signees, have already arrived on campus to join the team for spring practice.
The transfer class is made up of 15 seniors, three juniors, five sophomores and six redshirt freshmen. Seven transfers joined Odom in making the move from UNLV to Purdue for the upcoming 2025 campaign.
The lists of transfers and high school signees can be found below.
