No purchase necessary. 50 U.S./D.C. 18+. Entry opens 3PM ET Dec 6, 2026 and closes 8PM ET Dec 18, 2026. Void where prohibited.See for complete details. The College Football Playoff (CFP) is not a sponsor or administrator of this contest.

Instincts: Physical. Gets into the chest of the defender with a punch. Active, choppy feet while engaged with the defender. At his best in space, where feet and hips flash. Comfortable working combo blocks to the second level. Extremely active arms defensively; consistent knockdown threat.

Polish: Plays with good base considering height. Powerful, effective punch. Already knows how to use length to advantage. Raw in pass protection; lacks consistent kick slide and too often bails out of footwork. 50-plus pounds away from being ready for Big-10 competition.

Bottom Line: Purcell’s length, coordination and natural power make him a promising developmental prospect at tackle. Needs years of strength training and technique work, but ultimately projects as a starting-caliber tackle for Gophers, potentially on the left side.
