Brady Allen – QB – Purdue – 4-Star Transfer
Brohm dipped into the former Boilermaker pool again for this transfer, quarterback Brady Allen.
Brady Allen spent one year with the Boilermakers but decided to follow his head coach to the ‘Ville for his second season.
Allen barely registered any statistics last season as a true freshman. Throwing for just 8 yards on three pass attempts, but Allen was a monster coming out of HS.
During his senior year at Gibson Southern, (Fort Branch, IN) Allen threw 4253 passing yards, 58 TDs & just six interceptions.
All those stats culminated in Allen leading his team to a Class 3A championship in the state of Indiana.
LOOK AT THIS THROW ON 4th & 21…

I covered Allen a little bit as a sports reporter in Evansville, IN, and I’ll tell you that he is the REAL DEAL.
6’5, 215 lbs., Solid arm strength, good athleticism, and great decision-making.
This transfer may not pay dividends immediately, as Jack Plummer is locked in as this year’s starter, but I could see Allen leading this Cardinals team under center in 2024.
