As expected Christian County’s Cory Trice made it officially a Boilermaker thing Wednesday on the opening day of college football’s early signing period. Purdue football announced Wednesday that Trice had signed his letter of intent to play football for Coach Jeff Brohm and the Boilermakers.
During his senior season on the football field at Christian County, Trice had 31 tackles in eight games for Christian County. He was also named the Class 5A-District 1 Player of the Year; selected for the Best of the Bluegrass All-Star Game; and named first team All-Western Kentucky Conference.
Trice had a 97-yard kickoff return for a touchdown in the season-opener and returned three punts for touchdowns during the season. He also scored two touchdowns and a two-point conversion against Apollo with a 45-yard interception return and an 86-yard fumble return. Trice recorded a total of three interceptions on the season, before his season was cut short due to injury.
