Durham is one of the best weapon tight ends in the B1G. He’s caught 56 passes for 560 yards and 8 touchdowns this season and will join quarterback Aidan O’Connell in skipping Purdue’s game against the LSU Tigers.
Durham helped Purdue win the B1G West, but like the rest of the team, struggled against Michigan in the B1G Championship game.
