Ball State shows interest in Purvis


One of the most interesting recruits to track in the coming days will be Los Angeles Jordan's Delvon Purvis, the player at the center of the firestorm that erupted last week over secondary NCAA violations committed by Washington.

Purvis was scheduled to take an official visit to Washington last weekend with teammate James Boyd, but the pair canceled the trip in the wake of the controversy that ensued after a Times story detailed a recruiting visit from Huskies Coach Steve Sarkisian and defensive coordinator Nick Holt.

Though Purvis does not have a scholarship offer, Jordan Coach Elijah Asante said Tuesday morning that the receiver is now drawing interest from Ball State. Asante said Purvis probably won't sign with the Cardinals on Wednesday during the first day players can sign national letters of intent, but Purvis may visit the campus in Muncie, Ind.

Ball State finished 12-2 last season after a 45-13 loss to Tulsa in the GMAC Bowl.
