Cam Allen, S Sr.

There are several Boilermakers who could turn into the team’s top player this season – yeah, go ahead and put Aidan O’Connell up here – but Allen is coming off a strong few seasons and should be ready for a huge senior year now that he settled in a physical safety.

The 6-1, 195-pound two-time Honorable Mention All-Big Ten performer made 124 tackles, seven interceptions, six broken up passes, and 5.5 tackles for loss with two fumble recoveries over the last three seasons.

Aidan O'Connell, QB Sr.

Jalen Graham, LB Sr.

6-3, 220. 117 tackles, 1 sack, 7.5 TFL, 2 INT, 8 broken up passes, 2 forced fumbles, 2 fumble recoveries in three seasons. Possibly the team’s top pro prospect. Honorable Mention All-Big Ten.
