Corey Smith brings big-play juice and reliable hands to Purdue’s WR room
Corey Smith’s 2025 season at Purdue showed a vertical-threat profile: he played in all 12 games, caught 14 passes for 237 yards and a touchdown, and posted a season-best 83 yards with a 60-yard score against Illinois. He also flashed as a chain-mover with a 6-catch, 57-yard game at Minnesota and a 48-yard grab at Northwestern. What makes him interesting is the combination of explosiveness and versatility, with prior production at Tulsa suggesting he can win at multiple levels rather than just as a gadget player.[8]
