Purdue’s seasoned anchor with proven run-game juice
Jalen St. John looks like a strong Big Ten fit because he brings real, recent starting experience and a clear power profile: in 2024 at UNLV, he started all 14 games at left tackle, earned Second Team All-Mountain West honors, and helped fuel one of the nation’s best rushing attacks. His differentiators are size, strength, and consistency in assignment football—PFF charted him almost entirely at left tackle, and Purdue’s own roster notes show he was trusted in a high-volume, high-output offense. If you want a physical, experienced lineman who can move people in the run game, he’s worth caring about.
