On the recruiting trail, Purvis is still searching for his first offer, but that first scholie could be coming any day. Schools such as USC, UCLA, Oregon, Washington and Arizona State are all looking at him.
Jordan head coach Elijah Asante is sure that his talented wide receiver will soon be getting his first offer.
"When you look at Delvon, it is about his work ethic," Asante said. "He gets it done in the classroom, the football field and in the community."
"USC is heavily interested in Delvon and he is very likely to get an offer from the Trojans," Asante said. "He runs great and precise routes. Delvon is fearless over the middle and will catch the ball in traffic, plus gets yards after the catch."
"Delvon is also outstanding on special teams," Asante said. "Against Mater Dei he took the opening kickoff 88 yards to the house to get the ball rolling for Jordan."
Keep an eye on Purvis, he could be one of those guys who explodes with offers as his senior season progresses.
