Purdue Football 2024-25 NCAA Transfer Portal Tracker
With college football's 2024 regular season over, the NCAA transfer portal is about to get crowded. Purdue will undoubtedly be impacted during the offseason, with several players coming and going.
The Boilermakers finished the season with a 1-11 record, going winless in Big Ten. There's also a coaching change, as athletic director Mike Bobinski made the decision to fire Ryan Walters after two seasons.
As a result of the lack of success and coaching change, we're likely to see a lot of changes coming over the next few months.
We'll continue to monitor the transfer portal situation for Purdue throughout the offseason, keeping track of the incoming and outgoing players.
