Purdue football turned over almost its entire secondary through the transfer portal since the end of last season.
The Boilermakers added a piece of potential stability for the future Tuesday. Dana Greenhow, a 5-foot-10, 170-pound safety from Sandy Hook High School in Tyrone, Georgia, became the second defensive commit in the 2026 class.
Greenhow is a three-star prospect ranked No. 1,232 overall in the On3 industry rankings. His long list of power conference offers included Indiana, Georgia Tech, Kansas, Missouri, North Carolina State and West Virginia.
Greenhow made an official visit to Purdue on May 30. He was scheduled to take visits to IU, Liberty and NC State this month.

Grand Rapids Central Catholic (Michigan) linebacker Brayden Sweeney is the only other known defensive player among nine 2026 commits. That class currently ranks No. 49 and 16th among Big Ten teams per On3.
