First-year Purdue coach Barry Odom continues to turn over the roster, adding offensive lineman Jude McCoskey from the transfer portal tonight.

A product of South High in Terre Haute, Ind., McCoskey played his first two seasons at Indiana State before transferring to Tulane in December. He played in 11 games in 2023 for the Sycamores and 11 last season.

The 6-8, 300-pound McCoskey will have two years of eligibility.

McCoskey is Purdue’s third portal commitment, joining Bowling Green defensive lineman Marcus Moore and LB Sanders Ellis of Tennessee State.
