Grad transfer O-linemen adjusting quickly to Purdue

When Shane Evans transferred, he cited position stability as a reason why he wanted to find another home.

He thought he’d find it at Purdue, thinking he’d get an opportunity to play one position — and one position only — rather than being bounced around like he was at Northern Illinois.

It took a few days as a Boilermaker, but Evans thinks he’s in place now; the NIU graduate transfer has settled in as Purdue’s first-team left guard, but only after he had to spend the first three practices as the No. 1 center while filling in for an injured Kirk Barron.
