Ever since the Huskers made the offer to Florida State transfer Quarterback Chubba Purdy on December 28, 2021, you could tell that their was some mutual attraction there. Given that the week prior to being named Nebraska’s new Offensive Coordinator, Mark Whipple was trying to lure the former 4 star recruit out of Perry High School in Gilbert, Arizona to be the heir apparent for the Pitt Panthers. Nabbing a replacement for four-year starter and future NFL pick, Kenny Pickett.

Chubba, is the younger brother of former Iowa State Quarterback Brock Purdy. Although Chubba visited the Huskers once before, it seems the relationship with Whipple paid off because after his campus visit, he announced his commitment to the Nebraska Cornhuskers. Chubba will have four years to play four seasons.

The 6’2” 215 lb. dual threat Purdy took a visit to Norman, Oklahoma and seemed like he did enjoy his visit. With the transfer and signing of former UCF Knights QB Dillon Gabriel, I wonder if perhaps he was looking for a more potentially immediate opportunity for playing time.
