Alright, story time, folks. Let’s dive into this Purdue football scene for a bit. So Mo Omonode, one of West Lafayette’s local heroes, has made a big move—he’s hit the transfer portal. And if you’ve been under a rock, that’s like announcing you’re ready for new adventures.
Here’s the scoop: Mo’s got some serious roots in Lafayette. This guy’s been lighting it up since high school. Remember when he helped West Lafayette snag the Class 3A state title back in 2018? Dude’s been on the scene, racking up tackles and reminding everyone he’s got a motor that just won’t quit.
Anyway, life threw him a curveball during spring camp—a back injury the docs call “minor,” but you know how it goes when your body’s your bread and butter. So, he took a moment and decided it was time to spice things up, explore the market, so to speak.
Football fans know, Mo didn’t just sit on the bench sipping Gatorade. He got straight to business as a freshman in 2022, eventually starting games and bringing the heat with those 32 tackles and 3.5 sacks. Not too shabby, right?
