We celebrate birthday No. 27 with Danny Ezechukwu (Dec. 7, 2021) who was a mainstay at linebacker for Purdue appearing in 45 games for the Boilermakers under coaches Darrel Hazell and Jeff Brohm from 2014-17. The Lithonia, Georgia native compiled 216 career tackles, forced and recovered four fumbles, had 16 career tackles for loss and 7.5 sacks . He played a key role in a resurgent Boilermaker defense in his senior season of 2017, when Purdue posted a winning season and a Foster Farms Bowl win over Arizona. Ezechukwu, an Industrial Management major, lives and works in sales in the Dallas Metroplex Area for Rev.com and follows Purdue's sports teams very closely. He and his wife Arielle have two sons, Tariq and Zayeed (who makes a cameo appearance in the Arni's Birthday Zoom).

We celebrate birthday No. 36 (Nov. 24, 2021) with former Boilermaker standout receiver Desmond Tardy who is home for Thanksgiving visiting family in his hometown of Indianapolis. The former Indiana Mr. Football (2003) enjoyed a great senior year as a Boilermaker catching 67 passes for five TDs in 2008.

The high-energy, infectious-attitude Tardy talks about his love for coaching, including his current gig at IMG Academy, and shares his message to college prospects that he runs across every day in Florida. He also evaluates another "famous" Warren Central H.S. product in David Bell, and talks about his role in the famed "hook and ladder" play against Michigan in 2008 and his bittersweet memories of playing in the Old Oaken Bucket Game.
