Purcell is one of the top linebackers across the Bay Area heading into the Fall and should continue to draw college interest and potential offers through his senior season. He’s very athletic for the position and can make plays both inside and outside the tackles while flashing closing speed and excellent tackling abilities in the open field. He is a balanced prospect against the run and the pass and shows pass rush abilities with active hands and natural bend off the edge while quickly able to redirect and collapse the pocket. Overall, he can bring a lot to the table at the next level and offers position versatility at either backer spot.

Purcell is one of the more under-rated linebackers across northern California. He is looking to be a big-time steal for a college program and is poised for a huge senior season for one of the top programs in the CCS. Purcell is a very athletic and rangy player that has closing speed and strong tackling abilities in the open field while able to quickly diagnose plays and knife into the backfield, going through or dipping around blockers. He is a high motor kid that plays with good hand violence at contact and shows he can track down ball-carriers behind the line and make plays outside the tackles in the open field. Overall, he is a very balanced and versatile prospect that is a high caliber player at the next level and has been severely under-recruited up to this point.
