Purdue QB, former 4-star recruit, reportedly enters NCAA transfer portal
Purdue quarterback Michael Alaimo is reportedly entering the transfer portal, Rivals reported on Tuesday.
The sophomore quarterback from Montvale, New Jersey, played in just three games for the Boilermakers in his two seasons, completing 9 passes for 74 yards. He played in the late minutes of the Cheez-It Bowl against LSU as Purdue got demolished by the Tigers 63-7.
The news comes as freshman quarterback Brady Allen removed his name from the transfer portal and announced he would return to Purdue. The Boilermakers also added Texas quarterback Hudson Card from the transfer portal, making the quarterback race even more tricky.
Alaimo was a 4-star prospect coming into Purdue according to 247Sports Composite. He was the No. 12 pro-style quarterback and the No. 8 overall player out of New Jersey.
Alaimo garnished offers from West Virginia, Michigan State, North Carolina and Cincinnati, and could very well end up back at a Power 5 school in the fall.
