Former Michigan State safety Justin Denson Jr. transferred to Purdue and made a strong impression during the spring game, recording a sack, two tackles-for-loss, and a pass breakup. Denson showcased his versatility by playing in multiple defensive positions.
One of the Michigan State football players who underwent an exodus this past offseason after the departure of Jonathan Smith was safety Justin Denson Jr., a former 3-star safety and All-American out of Kingston, PA. Denson didn't transfer far, transferring out to Purdue in January. After playing more his freshman season, then taking a step back last year, Denson looks like he found a good landing spot at Purdue, getting featured on defense in Purdue's recent spring game and standing out on their defense.
According to JTBoiler, Denson played in multiple spots on the defense and ended up with a sack, two tackles-for-loss, and a pass breakup in a day where players were getting heavily cycled in. It looks like Denson has found a nice role on the Boilermakers.
Here's some of his footage:
