A closer look at quarterback Chubba Purdy’s transfer to San Jose State

The former Nebraska quarteback will finish his college career closer to home.

Former Nebraska and Florida State quarterback Chubba Purdy will continue his collegiate career at San Jose State.

On Monday, Purdy announced that he will be taking his talents to San Jose, where he’ll be set to use his final year of eligibility.

The younger brother of San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy, the Arizona native, signed with Florida State out of high school, where he was a consensus four-star prospect.

After two years with the Seminoles, Purdy transferred to Nebraska where he played in 12 games, completing 53-of-105 passing attempts for 529 yards and two touchdowns while throwing six interceptions. He also had 253 rushing yards and three touchdowns in his time with the Huskers.

Notably, however, while Purdy has committed to San Jose State, the Spartans’ head coach Brent Brennan has become the favorite to land the head coaching job at Arizona, according to multiple reports, including by The Ahletic’s Bruce Feldman. 

Now, Purdy will look to be San Jose State’s starting quarterback in 2024. Find a photo gallery of Chubba Purdy’s career below.
