After suiting up at 35 games at Connecticut from 2016-19 and recording 260 total tackles (161 solo, 99 assisted), 18 pass breakups, three interceptions, two defensive touchdowns, two forced fumbles and a pair of fumble recoveries, Coyle moved to Purdue for his senior season. With the Boilermakers, he racked up 13 defensive tackles in three contests.

Terrell (5’10, 210 lbs)- returns for a second season with the squad after appearing in three regular season games with 24 rushing yards on three carries. Terrell also hauled in a 24-yard touchdown reception in a September 13 game against the Toronto Argonauts.
