WR Myles Norwood chooses Purdue (UNT offer)

[Harry]

The 6-foot-1, 175-pound Norwood attends Grace Prep Academy in Arlington, Texas. Norwood's family (mom, dad and sister) flew to Chicago and drove to West Lafayette on Tuesday to tour the campus and speak with the Boilermaker coaching staff.

“It was great,” Norwood said. “I loved everything in touring the campus, the people and the atmosphere. The coaches and the players made it feel like home and a place where I could see myself next year and in the future.”

The visit left a lasting impression.

"Just going up there and seeing everything really put them at the top of my list," he said.

Other offers

Norwood said Tulsa, North Texas, San Diego State, Texas State and Georgia State offered scholarships, but Purdue clearly had the advantage after Tuesday.

“Location isn’t a problem and I wanted to check it out myself and see everything," he said.

Private school kid. His parents can probably afford the airfare home whenever he gets home sick.

This kid is either very secretive or imaginative. I can't find any reference that North Texas, San Diego State or Tulsa ever offered him a scholarship. ESPN does show that he reported offers from Georgia State, Texas State and Western Illinois.
