Hoffman Estates senior inside linebacker recruit Jaylan Alexander (6-foot-2, 225 pounds) added his first Big Ten scholarship offer this afternoon from Purdue, and later this evening decided to give the Boilermakers his verbal commitment.

"They offered me today about four hours ago," Alexander said tonight. "I gave it some thought and decided to commit to Purdue. It feels pretty amazing."

Alexander, who plays both wide receiver and linebacker for Hoffman Estates camped at Purdue this past weekend at linebacker and was able to earn his offer after an impressive camp performance.

“They (Purdue) said they just wanted to see me work out at camp. So, I went to camp, put on a show and I guess they really liked it. They said I have great agility, great hips and I am a playmaker."

Alexander also came away very impressed with Purdue after his weekend camp and visit.

“When I got there it was just a good vibe for me. I really liked everything about the place. The campus was nice, the coaches were cool, the energy level was just exciting and I loved Purdue. It is a great school.”
