Purdue Football Player Elected Student Body President

A member of the Purdue football program will be keeping busy off of the field. Earlier this week, it was announced that quarterback Aaron Banks has been elected as the Purdue University student body president. Banks is preparing to enter his senior year majoring in industrial engineering.
Banks joined the Boilermakers as a walk-on back in 2015, appearing in just one game and completing his lone pass for four yards.
The quarterback ran along with vice presidential candidate Olivia Keller and the pair ran away with the vote.
