Former Arkansas quarterback Malachi Singleton has committed to Purdue, he tells On3’s Hayes Fawcett.

Singleton is best remembered this past season for scoring the game-winning rushing touchdown in the Razorbacks’ upset win over No. 4 Tennessee earlier this season. He finished the year 21 of 28 passing for 358 yards and a touchdown.

Singleton was a highly-touted four-star quarterback in the 2023 recruiting class. An Elite 11 finalist, he was the No. 23 quarterback in his class and the No. 373 player overall, according to the On3 Industry Rankings, which is a proprietary algorithm that compiles ratings and rankings from all four primary recruiting media services.

As a junior at North Cobb High School, Singleton passed for 2,348 yards with 24 touchdowns. He also rushed for 1,037 yards and 25 more scores to help elevate him on recruiting boards. He chose Arkansas over UCF and Georgia during his high school recruitment.

“Great job of throwing the football,” Arkansas head coach Sam Pittman said of Singleton’s game during the season. “Throwing it early. Very accurate and ran over some people. Malachi played extremely well. We’re glad we have him and have a lot of belief in him when he goes in the game.”

Singleton will look to compete for the starting job right away and take over a Purdue offense that finished the season 1-11 last season and 0-9 in Big Ten matchups. They lost the final 11 games of the season.

The portal officially opens on Monday, Dec. 9, 2024. More than 2,800 FBS scholarship players entered their names into the NCAA’s transfer database during the 2023-24 school year. Removing those who withdrew or went pro, the final total sat at 2,707 transfers.

That means roughly 25 percent of all FBS scholarship players hit free agency in one year, per On3’s Pete Nakos.
