Purdue football's defensive pass game coordinator, Charles Clark, has been given a significant pay raise and additional responsibilities. Head coach Barry Odom praised Clark for his leadership skills and ability to recruit and mentor players. Alongside the salary increase, Clark will now hold a $125,000 base salary at Purdue, bringing his total to $550,000. This move comes as part of a larger effort to address problems in the Boilermaker secondary, which recorded just three interceptions in 2025.
