The 6-5, 310-pound Andre Oben, a Rivals.com three-star prospect, selected the Boilermakers over Syracuse and a raft of other schools. He is one of four offensive line commits in Purdue's Class of 2022, joining Cross Watson, Vince Carpenter and Malachi Preciado. The Boilermakers currently have 12 overall commitments.
