Jahmal Edrine missed all of the 2023 season with an injury. Now fully healthy, the Purdue receiver is 'locked in' and 'ready to go' for the season opener.
The first time Jahmal Edrine puts on a Purdue uniform comes a little later than he expected. The transfer wide receiver from Florida Atlantic was hoping that moment would come in 2023. Instead, it will be happening this weekend when the Boilermakers host Indiana State in the season opener.
Edrine last played on Nov. 26, 2022 when he was still at Florida Atlantic. He had a nice outing, catching three passes for 44 yards and two touchdowns in a game against Western Kentucky. Then a redshirt-freshman, Edrine ended the season with 570 yards and six touchdowns on 39 receptions — the Owls' second-best receiver in all three categories.
Last season, Edrine was expected to be an impact transfer in Purdue's wide receiver room, which needed playmakers. The injury delayed his ability to help the Boilermakers on the field. One year later, Edrine is listed as a starter on Purdue's depth chart for Saturday's game against Indiana State. Quarterback Hudson Card is excited to have a 6-foot-3, 215-pound receiver as an option in the passing attack.
