WEST LAFAYETTE − Purdue football committed to bringing in more offensive playmakers with its new coaching staff.
One of the early finds through the transfer portal was Charles Ross, a receiver who spent last season at USC.
The sixth-year receiver, who has 70 career receptions at Nevada, San Jose State, and USC, went through spring camp with the Boilermakers.
Head coach Barry Odom said on Thursday that Ross is no longer with the team.
Odom clarified that Ross’s departure is health-related with no expected return timetable.
Ross caught four touchdowns during three seasons at San Jose State. He was expected to be in the mix with Purdue’s receiving corps this fall. Ross was one of 10 new receivers on the Purdue roster entering fall camp.
