MORE: Purdue lands in-state commitment for 2021 class | Alstott-VanDeVanter's head coach calls him "diamond-in-the-rough" | Purdue 2021 commitments
At 6-6, 275 pound, Jaelin Alstott-Vandevanter is one Purdue's biggest and most imposing signees in years.
He'll join a Boilermaker offensive line that continues to improve. And one day, Alstott-Vandevanter could be a starting tackle. At least that's the hope.
A three-star recruit, Alstott-Vandevanter was the second player to commit to Purdue's Class of 2021, making a verbal pledge on January 9, 2020. He saw prep teammate Zach Richards commit in April, giving Purdue two offensive linemen from Mooresville (Ind.) High. Purdue signed four o-linemen overall in its 15-member 2021 class, with Marcus Mbow and Mahamane Moussa joining Alstott-Vandevanter and Richards.
Alstott-Vandevanter is one of five members of the Class of 2021 enrolling early, joining wideouts Preston Terrell and Deion Burks along with linebackers Tristan Cox and Yanni Karlaftis.
