Purdue freshman DB Zyntreacs Otey brings recruiting pedigree, length, and upside
Otey is a **young, developmental cornerback** with clear upside: Purdue lists him as a 2025 freshman who redshirted, and recruiting services tagged him as a four-star / three-star defensive back with strong production at Battle Ground Academy, where he posted **103 tackles and 4 interceptions in two seasons**. His appeal is his **size, tackling range, and high-floor competitiveness** rather than immediate star power; at **5'11", 180**, and with no college game action yet, he profiles as a projectable DB who could fit a team looking for an athletic, physical corner with long-term special-teams value.
