Purdue has added a 14th portal commitment, earning a pledge from Akron DE CJ Nunnally, who is the Boilermakers’ first defensive line portal pledge in 2025.

Nunnally is a two-time All-MAC pick who joined the Zips from Independence Community College prior to the 2023 season. He began his career at FCS Jackson State in 2021.

The 6-3, 240-pound Nunnally made 121 tackles, 27 tackles for loss and 13.0 sacks, as well as three forced fumbles, while at Akron. He led the Zips in sacks and tackles for loss in each of the last two seasons.

The Douglasville, Ga., native (South Paulding High) reported offers from Coastal Carolina, Charlotte, Southern Miss, Western Michigan, Eastern Michigan, UMass, Miami (Ohio), East Carolina, Western Kentucky and Florida Atlantic since entering the portal on December 9th.
