Over the years, more and more high school recruits have begun graduating high school in December and enrolling in college in January, a move that used to be reserved for just the quarterbacks and JUCOs.

Now, though, it's mainstreamed, and Purdue's 2020 signing class — at least the portion of it signed to this point — reflects it.
