INDIANAPOLIS — Purdue football continues to find potential impact defensive players for its 2025 class one state to the east.
West Chester (Ohio) Lakota West linebacker Grant Beerman committed to the Boilermakers on Saturday morning. The 6-4, 220-pound, three-star prospect is ranked No. 421 in the 247 Sports composite for the 2025 class.
Beerman’s commitment came one day after Columbus Marion-Franklin cornerback Dawayne Galloway made his commitment. Galloway and Beerman are now the two highest-ranked players in that 2025 recruiting class.

That brings the total defensive commitments from Ohio players to three in this class. Cincinnati Taft defensive lineman Drayden Pavey was the first. Akron East running back Ziaire Stevens also has committed.
What Grant Beerman’s recruitment means
Cincinnati, Michigan State and West Virginia were among the other programs Beerman reportedly saw on official visits. As a junior he collected 79 tackles (12 for loss), four sacks, two forced fumbles and two pass breakups.
Linebacker loomed as a position of real need. Senior Kydran Jenkins and junior Yanni Karfaltis will soon complete their careers. The only true freshmen linebackers on the roster are preferred walk-ons Cooper Kitchel and Landon Drennan.
Beerman also projects as the highest-ranked commit at the position since Karlaftis in 2021. He’s considered an intelligent player and also has a track sprinting background. Purdue may need him to make a relatively quick impact in the middle of the defense.
