Ryan Browne News, Rumors, Updates - Purdue Boilermakers

Will enter portal Browne will enter the transfer portal, Mike Farrell of MikeFarrellSports.com reports.

Impact Browne was never able to fully replace Hudson Card as Purdue's starting quarterback, even though there was a brief spell where it looked like a QB change could have happened. The portal-entering quarterback has three years of collegiate eligibility remaining.

Throws TD in relief effort Browne completed 3 of 7 passes for 40 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 49-10 defeat against Penn State.

Impact Browne came in during the third quarter after senior signal-caller Hudson Card was benched midway through the third quarter. With the Boilermakers already down 35-3, the redshirt sophomore didn't make much of a dent other than a 20-yard touchdown pass to tight end Max Klare in the fourth quarter. Since his massive outing in a start at Illinois in Week 7, Browne hasn't provided much spark when he's taken over for Card in each of the last three games. It will still be worth monitoring if Purdue elects to move him into the starting role ahead of this Friday's game at Michigan State.

Won't start but will still play Browne won't start against Ohio State, but he'll continue to see some reps at gunslinger for the Boilermakers, Tom Dienhart of On3.com reports.

Impact Browne has been inserted into the lineup recently to spell the struggling Hudson Card. However, the latter is coming off one of his better performances of this season, and has therefore locked down the starting role this week against Ohio State. Still, Browne will continue to see snaps as the Boilermakers throw the kitchen sink at the quarterback position.

Will split reps with Card Browne will play in tandem with Hudson Card against Northwestern this week, Tom Dienhart of On3.com reports.

Impact Purdue apparently plans to play both its quarterbacks against the Wildcats. Browne is coming off a tough showing against Oregon, completing 9-of-19 passes for 93 yards and an interception. Still, the Boilermakers haven't loved what they've seen from Hudson Card this season, opening the door for a true quarterback controversy in West Lafayette.

Could start again after bye Browne split QB1 reps with Hudson Card at Tuesday's practice, Nathan Baird of IndyStar reports.

Impact Browne had a rough showing against Oregon while filling in for the injured Hudson Card, tossing for 93 yards on 47.4 percent completion with no touchdowns and an interception. Still, he appears to be in consideration to start after Purdue's Week 9 bye, as although Card is practicing, he didn't immediately re-assume his role as the starter in practice. Head coach Ryan Walters said "both of them give us a shot," so it sounds as if the Purdue coaching staff has yet to make up its mind on what quarterback it will roll with after the week off.

Falls back to earth versus Oregon Browne completed 9 of 19 passes for 93 yards and one interception during Friday's 35-0 loss against Oregon. He also had 14 rushes for 48 yards.

Impact Browne was coming off an electric performance during the second half of last week's 50-49 loss to Illinois. But, he faced a much tougher opponent in his second career start and it reflected on his final stat sheet. Browne adds a new element to this offense with his rushing ability, but that doesn't fix the underlying issues for a Boilermakers offense that lacks the talent to compete with the best-of-the-best. He should be in line to make his third career start if Hudson Card remains in concussion protocol for next week's game against a Northwestern squad that just lost 23-3 versus Northwestern.

Starter for Oregon game Browne will be the Boilermakers' starting quarterback for their game Friday against Oregon, Tom Dienhart of On3 reports.

Impact Browne was the Boilermakers' starting quarterback for their latest game. He logged 18 pass completions for 297 yards and three touchdowns. Browne also recorded 118 rushing yards, resulting in more than 400 of them in plays from scrimmage. Even if Hudson Card (concussion) is available, Browne has done more than enough to earn another start under center for the Boilermakers.

Lights it up in OT loss Browne completed 18 of 26 passes for 297 yards and three touchdowns during Saturday's 50-49 overtime defeat against Illinois. He also had 17 rushes for 118 yards.

Impact Browne made his first career start with Hudson Card sidelined by a concussion. He and the entire Boilermakers' offense came to life in the third quarter after totalling nine passing yards in the first half. The redshirt freshman hit touchdown passes of 53, eight and 13 yards in the second half. He also established a strong connection with tight end Max Klare, who caught six of eight targets for 133 yards, including a 62-yard connection on a double-reverse flea flicker in the third quarter and a two-point conversion in the fourth quarter. Browne also finished with a team-high in rushing yards ahead of running back Devin Mockobee, who logged 11 carries for 102 rushing yards. With Hudson Card's status still up in the air, Browne may need to start again for the Boilermakers next week, though they'll be going up against the now No.1-ranked Oregon Ducks.

Named starting QB for Week 7 Browne will be the Boilermakers' starting quarterback for their game Saturday at Illinois, national college football writer Brett McMurphy reports.

Impact Hudson Card is out for Saturday due to an upper-body injury. Without their starting quarterback available, the Boilermakers will have to resort to their best backup, that seemingly being Browne. He has seven completions on 11 attempts for 68 yards across 2024.

OCTOBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Two interceptions in loss Browne completed 12 of 16 passes for 104 yards and two interceptions during Saturday's 23-15 loss to Northwestern. He also had 21 rushes for 85 yards.

Impact Browne split time with fellow quarterback Bennett Meredith, filling in for injured starter Hudson Card in Purdue's loss to Northwestern. The freshman was able to move the ball for the Boilermakers, accounting for 104 yards through the air on just 12 completions while adding 85 yards on the ground. Despite throwing two interceptions, Browne showed promise in his first game action for Purdue. Card's status will determine Browne's viability in the Boilermakers' season finale against rival Indiana.
