Purdue’s receiving unit got a boost with a transfer portal commitment on Monday from Florida Atlantic’s Jahmal Edrine. He’s the Boilermakers’ ninth portal addition and first receiver.

The 6-3, 210-pound Edrine brings size to the spot, which lost top 2022 playmaker Charlie Jones. Edrine was a redshirt freshman in 2022, making 39 receptions for 570 yards and six TDs for the Owls. FAU played at Purdue last season. Edrine made one catch for 39 yards in a 28-26 Boilermaker victory on September 24th in Ross-Ade Stadium.

Edrine entered the portal on April 13. The redshirt sophomore has three years of eligibility.

The Fort Lauderdale (Fla.) High grad redshirted in 2021, playing in two games and making one catch for nine yards. He picked FAU over Wake Forest, Vanderbilt, NC State, Liberty, Charlotte, WKU and Utah State.

Purdue’s wideout unit returns a core of T.J. Sheffield, Mershawn Rice, Deion Burks, Adbur-Rahmaan Yaseen and Elijan Canion.
