Barry Odom has a defensive ends coach: Jake Trump, who comes to Purdue from Arkansas where he has coached since 2020.

A defensive quality control coach at Arkansas, Trump played linebacker at Missouri (2015-18), where Odom was head coach from 2016-19. Trump is the second Arkansas coach to join Odom’s maiden Purdue staff, as Kelvin Green was named defensive line coach on Wednesday.
