Purdue freshman defensive end DJ Allen has entered the NCAA transfer portal, seeking opportunities outside West Lafayette, becoming the third player from the team to do so during the latest transfer window.

By the Numbers
  • DJ Allen was a three-star recruit in the 2024 class, ranked as a top-75 edge player.
  • Allen, with all four years of eligibility remaining, committed to Purdue in December 2023.
Yes, But

It's unclear if DJ Allen has a preference for his potential next school at this point.

State of Play
  • Two other Purdue players, Ethon Cole and Christian Womack, both freshmen, also entered the transfer portal this spring.
  • Purdue received a transfer commitment from punter Keelan Crimmins, who comes with three seasons of eligibility.
What's Next

The uncertainty remains about where DJ Allen, Ethon Cole, and Christian Womack will transfer to, while Purdue gains a new punter in Keelan Crimmins.

Bottom Line

Purdue faces shifts in its roster with Allen's departure to the transfer portal, alongside two other teammates, while also securing a new punter to bolster their special teams.
