Purdue safety Marvin Grant has entered the NCAA transfer portal. He is the 13th Boilermaker to jump into the portal in 2021-22.

Grant, a redshirt junior, started all 13 games in 2021 and was second on the team in tackles with 74. He also broke up three passes and had 2.5 TFLs. The Detroit native played in four games in 2020 and tallied 14 stops. He redshirted in 2019, playing in three games. Grant was out this spring dealing with a shoulder issue.

Players had to be in the portal by today in order to be eligible for the 2022 season.

A four-star recruit in the Class of 2019, the 6-2, 210-pound Grant was expected to start in 2022 for what looked to be a strong secondary. Senior Cam Allen is the likely other starting safety, along with senior Jalen Graham. Other safeties on the roster who could step up are fifth-year senior Chris Jefferson, junior Sanoussi Kane, sophomores Antonio Stevens and Ryan Brandt and redshirt freshman Jah'von Grigsby.

Purdue has seen WR Marcellus Moore (Texas for track), QB Jack Plummer (Cal), LB Robert McWilliams, DE Dontay Hunter (Ohio), OL Dave Monnot, S Elijah Ball, DT Jeff Marks, DT Anthony Watts (Marshall), LB Khali Saunders, DT Bryce Austin (Western Michigan), CB Anthony Romphf (Western Michigan) and RB Ja'Quez Cross (Arkansas State) enter the portal in 2021-22, in addition to Grant.
