Nitro Tuggle is Purdue’s emerging WR2 with big-play upside
In the 2025 season, Nitro Tuggle became a dependable perimeter target for Purdue, finishing with 34 catches for 500 yards and 4 touchdowns while starting 11 of 12 games; he ranked second on the team in receptions and receiving yards and led the Boilermakers in receiving scores.[4][9] At 6-foot-1 and 190 pounds, his appeal is the blend of productive route-running, weekly target growth, and proven ability to turn limited volume into chunk plays, making him a strong fit for teams wanting a young receiver with starter-level upside rather than just raw speed.[6][17]
