a high-IQ, multi-position linebacker who earned his way from walk-on to scholarship at Hampton
Puryear’s calling card is versatility and persistence: at Hampton, he moved from walk-on to scholarship player and contributed at TE, RB, LB, and on special teams before graduating, which says a lot about his football IQ and toughness. Blue Ridge School describes him as a four-time Dean’s List student-athlete and notes his leadership arc, while his background suggests a dependable, coachable player who can absorb multiple roles. If you want a grinder with real developmental upside and a strong off-field profile, he fits the bill.
