Purdue football coach Barry Odom caps spring season
Hear what head coach Barry Odom said after Purdue football’s spring showcase on Saturday.
WEST LAFAYETTE − Purdue football is bringing a former four-star offensive lineman closer to home.
Marques Easley, who was a standout at Kankakee (Illinois) High School, is transferring to the Boilermakers from Georgia, it was announced Saturday.
Easley is the seventh player in the past two seasons to transfer to from Georgia to Purdue and third this spring.
He joins receivers Nitro Tuggle and Michael Jackson III to make the move since the conclusion of spring camp.
Easley was rated a four-star offensive tackle out of high school by 247Sports, ranked No. 161 nationally overall in the 2024 class and as the 14th best tackle.
Easley played in two games last season at Georgia. Easley was arrested on three counts of reckless conduct and one count of reckless driving, the Athens Banner-Herald reported, following a car crash into an apartment complex. Both Easley and Tuggle were suspended at Georgia for separate incidents.
Easley becomes Purdue’s fifth offensive lineman addition since the conclusion of its spring season and third transferring from a team in the Southeastern Conference (SEC).
