12 Days to Purdue Football: Austin Burton & Jah’von Grigsby

Today we have two players, including a potential winner of the quarterback derby.

Austin Burton - Grad Transfer

Newton, MA (UCLA)

6’2”, 210 pounds

Quarterback

2021 Projection: Potential Starter

If Burton wins the starting job his first start at Purdue will come against a familiar opponent. In his time at UCLA he made one start... against Oregon State in 2019. He showed his versatility in that game, throwing for 236 yards and rushing for another 64. That was his most extensive playing time in three years at UCLA, but he did graduate in three years before coming to Purdue.
