Georgia Tech’s steady, high-IQ depth piece on the O-line
Purves is a classic Georgia Tech developmental lineman: big-bodied at 6-3, 305, academically decorated, and long on patience after redshirting in 2022 and logging no game action through 2024. The upside is clear for a run-first offense—he brings the size and versatility to compete for interior snaps, and the fact that he’s already graduated points to maturity, work ethic, and professionalism. He looks like a fit for a team that values depth, intelligence, and a blue-collar mentality over flashy highlight numbers.
