Meet the coaches
Ryan Walters, Purdue: Walters is in his second season as the coach at Purdue, coming off a 4-8 campaign in 2023. Although Walters had stops as a defensive coordinator at Missouri and Illinois, he acknowledged that he met some challenges in his first season as the leader of a program. Throughout the offseason, Walters said he "learned a lot" in his first year with the Boilermakers. Walters' second season has gotten off to a roller coaster start, with Purdue defeating Indiana State 49-0 in the opener and falling 66-7 to Notre Dame in the second game of the year.
Trent Bray, Oregon State: A former Oregon State linebacker, Bray is in his first season as the head coach of the Beavers. He joined Jonathan Smith's staff in Corvallis in 2018, starting out as a linebackers coach before eventually being promoted to defensive coordinator in 2022. Brady was also previously on Oregon State's staff from 2012-14, working for Mike Riley. He then followed Riley to Nebraska, where he was the linebackers coach from 2015-17. In his first three games at the helm, Bray has led the Beavers to a 2-1 record.
