Report: Nevada's Chubba Purdy, Brother of 49ers' Brock, Enters CFB Transfer Portal

Nevada quarterback Chubba Purdy, the younger brother of San Francisco 49ers signal-caller Brock Purdy, has entered the transfer portal as a grad transfer.

Pete Nakos of On3 reported the news on Purdy, who has previously been enrolled at Florida State and Nebraska.

The 6'3", 218-pound Purdy made one start in 2024, completing 13-of-18 passes for 155 yards, one touchdown and one interception in a 34-13 road loss to Hawai'i. He also rushed for 41 yards.

Purdy was once a 4-star recruit in the class of 2020. 247Sports ranked Purdy as the No. 7 dual-threat quarterback in his class.

He played for Gilbert High School in Perry, Arizona before committing to Florida State. Purdy had previously committed to Louisville before changing course and choosing FSU.

In Nov. 2021, Purdy entered the transfer portal before heading to Nebraska in January 2022. In Dec. 2023, Purdy hit the portal again, this time choosing Nevada in Jan. 2024.

Over his five collegiate seasons, Purdy has completed 103-of-188 passes (54.8 percent) for 1,085 yards (5.8 yards per attempt), seven touchdowns and eight interceptions.

He's also rushed for 375 yards and three scores. Purdy's wheels were clearly evident for Nebraska last season, when he rushed for a 55-yard touchdown against Wisconsin in a Nov. 18, 2023 game.

Purdy made two starts for the 2023 Cornhuskers, completing 30-of-52 passes for 358 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions. He also rushed for 157 yards and a score on 26 attempts.

Purdy now has one more year of collegiate eligibility as he searches for a place where he can potentially be QB1.
