A group of six receivers headlines a collection of transfer portal visitors set to hit campus today.

Among the six wideouts is UNLV’s Jacob De Jesus, who doubles as a dynamic return man. Purdue already has six portal commitments from UNLV players, who followed Barry Odom from Las Vegas to West Lafayette. One of those is OL Jalen St. John, who is set to take an OV after committing last week.

Another former Rebel poised to visit to keep an eye on: S Jalen Catalon, a first-team All-Mountain West choice in 2024 and lynchpin for the UNLV defense.

Arkansas’ Dazmin James is another intriguing wideout target for a Purdue program with a big need at the position. Purdue got its first portal wideout commit on Thursday from USC’s Charles Ross.

There no doubt are other visitors, but these are ones known to GoldandBlack.com. Again, transfer portal recruiting changes daily.
