Not too long after the end of spring practice, the offensive line cavalry is headed to West Lafayette. Reportedly.
According to the Journal and Courier, David Steinmetz has decided to transfer into the Purdue football program. The 6-8, 296-pound offensive tackle spent the past three seasons at Rhode Island.
As Steinmetz would be coming to the Boilermakers from a Football Championship Series program as well as a graduate transfer, the lineman will be eligible to play immediately in 2017.
Steinmetz started 31 games the past three years for the Blue Hens. Most of that work came on the right side of the offensive line.
Should Steinmetz’s move come to fruition, he’d join Notre Dame wide receiver Corey Holmes (HERE), Western Kentucky linebacker T.J. McCollum (HERE) and Wake Forest defensive back Josh Okonye (HERE) as graduate transfers added by the Boilermakers this offseason. Additionally, Purdue was part of the Top 10 released this week by transfer wide receiver Jonathan Giles, who led Texas Tech in receiving last season.
