Positioned for big role this fall Ijeboi is slated for a significant workload in West Lafayette this season, per Dub Jellison of On3.

Impact The competition for Purdue's RB1 gig is still ongoing, but regardless, Ijeboi is going to play a big part in the Boilermakers' ground game. The third-year player had a very solid season with Minnesota last fall, rushing for 441 yards and two scores while adding 54 yards and a touchdown through the air. Jerrick Gibson and Antonio Harris are also poised for carries in this backfield, but Ijeboi will be a staple of the Boilermakers' rushing attack.

Impresses in spring, can be RB1 Ijeboi impressed during the Boilermakers' spring camp and could be their primary running back next season, Tom Dienhart of On3.com reports.

Impact Because of Ijeboi, Dienhart describes running back as a source of strength for the Boilermakers next season. He has the pedigree too, having proven himself with Minnesota by logging 97 rushing attempts for 441 yards (4.5 averaged per carry) and two touchdowns during 2025. With that level of promise, it would not be surprising if Ijeboi enters the Boilermakers' 2026 season as their top rusher, just as long as his promise remains visible.

Ijeboi finished as the Gophers' second leading rusher with 441 yards and two touchdowns on 4.5 yards-per-carry, also reeling in 12 catches for 54 yards and a score. With three seasons of eligibility remaining and a solid year at a Big Ten program under his belt, Ijeboi should have plenty of suitors in the portal.

The 6-foot back found the end zone on a two-yard run in the second quarter, getting the Golden Gophers on the board for the day. His next chance to make an impact will come when Minnesota travels to face Ohio State on Saturday.

Scores in blowout win Ijeboi logged seven rushes for 51 yards and hauled in all two targets for 22 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 66-0 victory versus Northwestern State.

Impact Ijeboi found the end zone on a 22-yard pass from quarterback Max Shikenjanski in the second quarter, extending the massive lead the Golden Gophers had put together. The 6-foot freshman made the most of his limited opportunities on the day, totaling 73 yards from scrimmage on nine touches. Unfortunately for Ijeboi, the freshman remains buried on the depth chart and will likely only see enough opportunity to be productive in a blowout scenario. A matchup against Cal will serve as his next opportunity on Saturday.
