Devin Mockobee arrived at Purdue in 2022 as a walk-on running back. He ends his career fourth on the Boilermakers’ all-time rushing list.

Purdue coach Barry Odom announced Monday that the senior running back’s college career has ended a month early due to an ankle injury that required surgery.

“We were hoping we would get a little bit better news after they did that procedure on his ankle,” Odom said. “But, unfortunately, the injury he sustained, he’s played his last game here. I sure hate that because he is such a wonderful young man, a great leader of this program and a great representative of Purdue University.

Mockobee, who earned a scholarship after rushing for a team-high 968 yards and nine touchdowns as a freshman, produced 2,987 yards and 23 touchdowns on the ground in 45 games.
