Nevada quarterback Chubba Purdy has decided to withdraw from the NCAA transfer portal, according to a report from On3’s Pete Nakos.

Purdy had made his decision to enter the transfer portal known on Dec. 3, so he went about a week exploring the potential of another career move. He ultimately decided against it.

Chubba Purdy spent two seasons at Florida State to begin his career before transferring to Nebraska for two more. He transferred to Nevada ahead of the 2024 season, and played in seven games there.

He is the younger brother of San Francisco 49ers and former Iowa State quarterback Brock Purdy.

The younger Purdy began his college playing career at Florida State during the 2020 Covid-altered season. He played in three games that year and then one the following season before transferring to Nebraska. With the Cornhuskers, he played two seasons, appearing in 12 total games — six in each season.

Across the 16 games he played in during his first four years, Purdy had less than 1,000 combined passing yards and had six passing touchdowns to seven interceptions.

With the Wolf Pack in 2024, Chubba Purdy appeared in seven games, attempting just 25 passes, completing 18 for 239 yards, a touchdown and an interception. Purdy also dealt with a shoulder injury at the start of the season. He originally committed to San Jose State out of the portal before flipping his commitment to Nevada.

Purdy has also been an effective rusher in his career, averaging 4.4 yards per carry, with his sack yardage included in the calculations. He averaged 6.2 yards per carry on a career-high 29 attempts in 2023 with Nebraska, also scoring one of his three career rushing touchdowns.

Chubba Purdy played high school football at Gilbert (AZ) Perry, where he was a four-star prospect. He was the No. 211 overall recruit in the 2020 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.
