“To coach Brohm and coach Williams, and the remaining Purdue staff, thank you for believing in me and giving me this great opportunity to play at one of the most prestigious schools in the country at the highest level,” Liston wrote in-part. “It is truly a privilege and blessing to be able to be at such a great place like Purdue University.”

Liston is ranked as the No. 73 interior offensive lineman in the country for the class of 2022, according to 247Sports Composite rankings.

Liston also has offers from Penn State, Arizona State, Cincinnati and Texas Tech, amongst others.

Purdue’s 2022 class now has 16 commitments as the Boilermakers prepare to start their regular season this weekend. The class ranks No. 41 nationally and No. 8 in the Big Ten, according to 247Sports Composite rankings.
