On his 48th birthday (May 19, 2022), Lee Brush gives an honest and thoughtful portrayal of the highs and lows of his football experience before and after his days as a Boilermaker (1994-97). . Brush was recruited to Purdue by coach Jim Colletto as a 5-foot-10, 183 pounds defensive back. A native of Winston-Salem, N.C., Brush made an impact early in his career, returning a fumble 85 yards for a touchdown in his freshman season (1994) and started 20 games in the Boilermaker defensive backfield. After a junior year where he almost transferred from Purdue and found himself not in the lineup, Brush became a leader on Purdue's resurgent defense under first-year coach Joe Tiller helping the Boilermakers to one of their best turnaround in its football history.

Brush, who graduated from Purdue with a civil engineering degree, now works in the facility construction industry in Scottsdale, Arizona and lives with his wife and two teenage children.
