Adding this talented defender would really boost Purdue’s 2019 recruiting class.

J.J. Weaver, a 4-star DE out of Kentucky, announced Thursday that he has trimmed his list of potential schools to six. The Boilermakers are still in the running, along with Louisville, Kentucky, Tennessee, Miami, and Cincinnati.
