Purdue has added Kentucky d-lineman Jamarious Dinkins from the portal. He visited West Lafayette this past weekend.

He is the third transfer commitment from the portal of the day for Purdue, joining offensive linemen Corey Stewart and DJ Wingfield. The Boilermakers have four portal commits in this cycle.

A 6-5, 280-pound Columbus, Ohio, native, who played at Walnut Ridge High, Dinkins played in 20 games over three seasons at Kentucky, making 18 tackles, with two TFLs and a sack. Dinkins played just 89 snaps as a redshirt sophomore in 2023.

Dinkins also had offers from Michigan State, Georgia Tech, Boston College, Vanderbilt, Memphis and Liberty, among others.
