  06/16/22 - WR Charlie JonesrSr/2023, Purdue

  Spring practice gave Aidan O'Connell and Iowa transfer Tyrone Tracy an opportunity to develop the important quarterback-receiver chemistry that should help Purdue's offense maintain a high level. However, Purdue coach Jeff Brohm has added another Hawkeye receiver transfer to the roster and O'Connell has a built-in history with Charlie Jones, who arrived on campus earlier this month and adds more depth to the position. O'Connell and Jones lived about 10 miles from each other in Illinois and played youth football and baseball together for six years starting in the third grade. O'Connell is from Long Grove, Ill., and Jones grew up in Deerfield. "In football, I basically threw it to him every play," said O'Connell, who attended Stevenson High School. "I know him well. He's a great friend and has already had a lot of success and hopefully, he brings that over here."

O'Connell also likes Jones' versatility to be used at different positions. He'll play a key role in Purdue's special teams since Jones was named Big Ten Returner of the Year last season, but O'Connell said don't be fooled by his statistics as a receiver. "I don't think he's gotten to show as much but he's a skilled receiver with a lot of speed, a lot of quickness and lateral quickness too. He's got great hands," said O'Connell, who will attend the Manning Passing Academy later this month. "Since he's been here, I've gotten to see how he handles himself, how much he watches film, studies the playbook, how he eats and all those things. He handles himself like a professional." - Journal and Courier
