The media woke with a buzz this morning as Junior Purdue LB/FB Gritt Gurdur declared for the ISFL Draft. Following the loss to Alabama in the FBS Semi-Finals, Gurdur was unclear at the time whether or not he would declare, but did so shortly after his teammates, SS Romulus Roman and FS Remas Roman, declared for the draft.
Gurdur leaves a stout Purdue Defense that restricted opposing teams to 16 PPG and led the NCAA in turnovers, with Gurdur himself tallying up 84 Tackles and 9 Forced Fumbles. The Purdue Defense also was top 5 against the run.
Gurdur was a walk on recruit from Lafayette, Indiana, where he had previously been a three-star basketball recruit. After being suspended his senior year for an excessive amount of personal fouls, Gurdur decided to play football for his senior year, becoming an all conference fullback and linebacker. despite his efforts, however, his team did not find success in the playoffs. Finding his passion for the game, Gurdur walked on to Purdue where he was red-shirted, and did not earn a starting role until his sophomore year. Gurdur found immediate success, being the teams largest presence in the running game on both sides. in his final year at Purdue, he earned the Paul Hornung Most Versatile Player award and was nominated for the Dick Butkus Outstanding LB Award.
Scouts are impressed by his physical attributes and his competitiveness, but are unsure of Gurdur's overall game knowledge and how his abilities will translate to the ISLF. His Coach describes Gurdur as a animal on the field with a very coachable demeanor.
In a press statement, Gurdur stated that he "Is lookin' forward to rattle sum helmets" for whatever team he joins. Only time will tell if he will be able to back up his confidence in the big leagues.
