The 23-year-old Crimmins is a native of Melbourne, Australia, and a product of Prokick Australia, which has sent numerous punters to the states since it began in 2007. Crimmins played cricket and Australian rules football and became one of the top punters in his country before coming to America.
Purdue is in the market for a punter after Australian Jack Ansell opted not to return for his final season. As of now, Purdue has just one punter on the roster: walk-on Bennett Boehnelin. Ideally, it’s believed Purdue special teams coach Chris Petrilli would like to have three punters, three kickers and three long-snappers on the roster with one on scholarship at each position.
