One Purdue QB is going to be testing the transfer portal, the player announced Monday morning following Christmas.

Brady Allen — a former 4-star QB and in-state prospect out of Fort Branch, Indiana — announced he would be entering the portal. Allen was the highest-ranked signee under Jeff Brohm for Purdue’s 2022 recruiting class but is heading to the portal following Brohm’s departure to Louisville and the hiring of Ryan Walters to lead the Boilermakers.

“It’s been an awesome experience wearing the black and gold,” wrote Allen. “I am thankful for the relationships and memories I’ve made over the last year. I made a decision to attend Purdue, and represent our home state over three years ago… However, sometimes the best plans don’t work out, and You have to deviate from them to do what’s best for your future. After many thoughts and prayers, I’ve decided to enter my name in the transfer portal.”

The decision should not alter Purdue’s plans for the Citrus Bowl with Brian Brohm previously announcing Austin Burton would start at QB for the Boilermakers. It does, however, hurt the Boilermakers moving forward.

Coming out of high school, Allen was a 4-star prospect and the No. 10 QB nationally per the 247 Sports Composite Rankings. It will be interesting to see where he winds up moving forward.
