Purdue still has areas of need it hopes to improve with outside talent. It also anticipates needing to replenish depth as current players decide to move on. The roster already changed significantly since last season,

Alabama had limited depth at tight end in spring with Josh Cuevas, Danny Lewis and Marshall Pritchett each out with injuries, and Kaleb Edwards enrolling in the summer. Jay Lindsey was the only scholarship tight end available along with preferred walk-on additions Peter Knudson and Jayden Hobson.
