Ricky Sampson brings size, versatility, and a fresh-playmaker profile to Purdue
In the 2025 season at Victor Valley College, Ricky Sampson caught 49 passes for 606 yards and 3 touchdowns, flashing a 6-foot-4, 210-pound frame that gives Purdue a bigger outside target with real red-zone upside. He arrived after starting his college career at quarterback, so he’s still a developing receiver, but that background hints at feel, toughness, and a more complete understanding of route concepts. The upside is obvious; the sample at wideout is still relatively new, so he looks more like a high-ceiling fit than a finished product.
