- Purdue came out of its second fall scrimmage largely healthy, and Barry Odom said the offense received good quarterback play while the offensive line communicated well and both sides executed more consistently. - Purdue plans a committee approach with its offensive playmakers, with George Burhenn, Travis Terrell Jr., De'Nylon Morrissette, Xavier Townsend, Fame Ijeboi, Antonio Harris, Asad Waseem, Bisi Owens and Jesse Watson among those competing to earn larger roles. - Odom highlighted extensive defensive position flexibility and said Jaden Mangham is being moved around, while Jeremy Lewis, Keyshawn Burgos, Ian Jeffries, CJ Madden, Trey Smith, Breeon Ishmail, Curt Neal, Rodney Lora, Charles Correa, Jojo Hayden, Anthony Speca, Tre Moore, Mister Clark, Don Saunders, Hudauri Hines and Justin Denson Jr. are among the defenders emerging as playmakers. - Linebacker Anthony Speca has been out but is expected back for the opener, while Smiley Bradford remains away from football activities for a personal matter. - Purdue still had not settled its place-kicker competition after the scrimmage, and Odom said the role could continue to fluctuate during the season based on results.

- Purdue defensive-line coach Kelvin Green views Curt Neal as the room's veteran leader because of his prior Big Ten experience and consistent example, while TJ Lindsey is expected to be a vital piece of the 2026 rotation. - Ian Jeffries made a notable physical jump after a full spring, summer and fall in Purdue's program, adding size and strength while improving his movement. - Portal additions Wisdom Simms and Rodney Lora give Purdue's defensive front more size and mass without sacrificing an attacking, physical style, and both have impressed the staff with their willingness to learn. - Purdue does not have a fixed defensive-line rotation size and plans to mix personnel by situation; true freshman Kobe Cherry is already difficult to move and has stood out for his coachability.
