"They're definitely one of my leaders," Meenan said. "Everything's kind of evened out, but I do have a lot of interest in Purdue, and that does have a lot to do with my brother (going there)."
Meenan is massive. He was recorded at Purdue as 6-foot-6.5, 315 pounds, he said. He was pleased with how he performed.
"I ran a little slow," said Meenan, who's been recorded elsewhere at just under 5.4, "but they said it'd be slow because of the field. But I thought I surprised them with my ability to move laterally and in the drills I did with Coach (Bill) Legg."
Toledo has offered Meenan. He's also camped this summer at Miami (Ohio) and Indiana. A trip to Boston College fell through, but camp stops at Ohio State and Notre Dame lie ahead.
As for Purdue, Meenan will await word.
"They said they'll keep recruiting me," Meenan said, "and at the end of two weeks, they'll decide of who they might want to offer."
