Former Purdue Defensive End Steven Faucheux Transfers to Marshall

Faucheux spent two seasons with the Boilermakers and was a four-star recruit coming out of Lakota West High School in West Chester, Ohio. However, he didn't log a single snap of play during his two seasons with the program.

He committed to Purdue in 2018 after fielding offers from schools such as Alabama, Florida, Tennessee and more. He sat out as a freshman behind future NFL defensive tackle Lorenzo Neal Jr., who now plays for the New Orleans Saints. As a sophomore, he played as a backup to then-junior Anthony Watts.

Faucheux was the sixth player from the Purdue football program to enter the transfer portal, and he was the first since freshman wide receiver Maliq Carr on April 23.
