Posted on | by Field Level Media

Nevada quarterback Chubba Purdy, the younger brother of San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy, has withdrawn from the NCAA transfer portal and will remain with the Wolf Pack, On3 reported on Tuesday.

The younger Purdy, 23, had decided to enter the transfer portal last week.

He also committed to San Jose State before changing course and transferring to Nevada.

Chubba Purdy played in seven games this season for the Wolf Pack (3-10), completing 18 of 25 passes for 239 yards with one touchdown and one interception. He also rushed for 60 yards on 13 carries.

Overall, Chubba Purdy — a former four-star high school prospect in Arizona — has 103 completions for 1,085 yards, seven touchdowns and eight interceptions in 23 games. He also has 375 rushing yards and three scores on 86 attempts, plus two catches for 10 yards.

Nevada’s primary quarterback this season, Brendon Lewis, is a redshirt junior.

Nebraska QB Casey Thompson (arm) considered day-to-day

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Nebraska starting quarterback Casey Thompson is day-to-day after suffering an injury to his throwing arm during last Saturday’s 26-9 home loss to Illinois.

Thompson didn’t practice Tuesday, interim coach Mickey Joseph told reporters, but there’s still a chance he could play this Saturday against visiting Minnesota.

In the meantime, backup quarterbacks Chubba Purdy and Logan Smothers split reps with the first-string offense evenly on Tuesday, according to Joseph.

Thompson left the Illinois game in the second quarter after throwing his second interception. At the time, Joseph said Thompson was hit in the elbow and he experienced numbness in his fingers.

Thompson finished the game 7 of 15 for 172 yards, one touchdown and two picks. Smothers played the rest of the quarter and Purdy took over for the second half.

A transfer from Texas, Thompson has thrown for 2,023 yards, 12 touchdowns and 10 interceptions this season while completing 62.9 percent of his passes.
