After multiple stars across the Big Ten opted out of the 2020 season given uncertainty and the lack of any plan to play, we have seen players voice their intention to opt back in to the eight-game schedule.
The latest opt in came this afternoon when Purdue’s star receiver Rondale Moore decided to take his talents back to West Lafayette.

Despite injury issues last season in a year where he only played in four games, Moore is one of the most electric players in the country, and had a historic 2018 season. During that incredible 2018 run, the Purdue star had 1,258 receiving yards on 114 catches to go along with 12 touchdowns. He also broke more tackles than anybody in the last six years of college football. This particular house call came in a shocking blowout upset of then No. 2 Ohio State.
Most forced missed tackles by a WR in a season since 2014:

The Badgers will see Purdue in week three at Camp Randall, and you can better believe you will hear the name Rondale Moore before that one is all said and done.
