Purdue flips four-star safety Jett Goldsberry from Ole Miss
A turn of events lands in Purdue’s favor on National Signing Day, as the Boilermakers flipped four-star Heritage Hills (Ind.) athlete Jett Goldsberry from his commitment to Ole Miss. Goldsberry’s decision comes just days after Lane Kiffin left Oxford to take the vacant LSU job.
The in-state standout and Indiana Mr. Football candidate was a top priority for Barry Odom and company since the staff’s arrival to campus. He took an official visit to West Lafayette over the summer, but landed at Ole Miss over Purdue, North Carolina, Wake Forest, Rutgers, West Virginia, Kentucky, and others.
Purdue now completes a signing day flip of one of the best prospects in the state and the class’s second four-star recruit, joining New Palestine (Ind.) offensive lineman Brock Brownfield, according to Rivals. Goldsberry is rated as the No. 502 player in the class in the Rivals Industry Rankings, as well as the No. 7 player in Indiana.
Goldsberry is a two-way standout at Heritage Hills in southern Indiana, where he stars at quarterback and defensive backs. This fall, he totalled 3,372 all-purpose yards and 56 touchdowns on offense, as well as 45 total tackles, three pass breakups, four sacks, three forced fumbles, 12 tackles for loss and an interception on defense. Mr. Football is typically announced in mid-December and if Goldsberry were to win, he would be the sixth player to win the award to play for Purdue and first since former quarterback Brady Allen.

The expectation is that he will join Charles Clark’s secondary in West Lafayette. That group grows to five on signing day, with Goldsberry joining fellow defensive backs and signees Raderrion Daniels, Emoni Smith, Dana Greenhow and Dax Noles.
Purdue adds Goldsberry to a strong first full recruiting class for Barry Odom, which is now up to 22 players.
