CJ Nunnally IV brings veteran edge-rush pop and disruptive backfield juice to Purdue
In the 2025 season, CJ Nunnally IV emerged as one of Purdue’s most reliable disruptors, finishing with 42 tackles, 10.5 tackles for loss, and five sacks, plus a standout Pro Day showing that included 12 bench reps and a 4.76 shuttle. He’s a seasoned, power-leaning edge/DL with proven production at multiple stops, including a dominant MAC run before Purdue, and he showed the ability to finish plays in bunches. For a team, he looks like a plug-in impact front-seven piece who brings motor, experience, and edge-setting toughness more than flashy athleticism.
