Landon Brooks brings long, high-upside edge-rush traits to Purdue
In the 2025 season, Landon Brooks arrived at Purdue as a redshirt freshman DE with a 6-6 frame, 265-pound build, and a recruiting profile that had him rated among Indiana’s top prospects and an edge recruit with serious disruption potential.[1][3][12][14] His defining traits are length, motor, and production from high school—he piled up 72 tackles, 19.5 tackles for loss, and 6.5 sacks in his breakout junior year—so he fits teams looking for a developmental edge with upside rather than an instant finished product.[1][4][7]
