Purdue quarterback EJ Colson, a redshirt freshman, has decided to enter the NCAA transfer portal, as confirmed by a source. Colson, who joined Purdue this off-season after a year at UCF, was in contention for the starting quarterback position after playing two games with the Knights.
With Colson's exit, Purdue now has Malachi Singleton, Evans Chuba, Bennett Meredith, and true freshman Garyt Odom as the remaining scholarship quarterbacks on the roster. There is speculation that North Carolina transfer Ryan Browne could be a potential addition for the Boilermakers during the spring transfer window. Colson, a former three-star recruit, will be seeking his third school in five months but still has four years of eligibility left.
