Explains a lot. Sounds like he could be a good one. Just no room for him in the Texas QB room, especially with Arch coming next year.
Good pickup, didn’t watch Texas much but it seemed the guy didn’t get a fair shot. Sucks to see Brady enter the portal but this team needs proven guys if they want to stand a chance next year.
Walters and Co. are playing to win now.
Wish Allen could have stayed though. Guess Allen thinks he should be starting as a RS Freshman.

Big pickup! I know a couple big UT fans who were upset he left there. The coach can recruit.
I watched Texas a couple times. Seems hard to believe that Ewers beat him out. Ewers was very unimpressive throwing the deep ball considering he was the number one recruit.
Best case scenario for purdue imo. Watched him play when ewers was out. He's got alot of talent and toughness. Can get u with his feet as well.
Nice, two interceptions in 194 pass attempts.
From ESPN:
Card, a redshirt sophomore and former top-40 recruit, gives Purdue a quarterback with three years of eligibility remaining and a solid track record in limited appearances. Card started five games over two seasons for the Longhorns, and he's thrown for 1,523 yards and 11 touchdowns over his three seasons.
Card hails from Austin Lake Travis High School in Texas, the rival high school of Purdue legend Drew Brees, who went to Austin Westlake.
Card completed 65.5 percent of his passes in 22 appearances for the Longhorns. That included perhaps the best performance of his career, completing 21 of 27 passes for three touchdowns in a win over West Virginia earlier this year. This season, Card threw just one interception in 108 attempts. In his career, he's thrown just two interceptions in 194 attempts.
Card is 6-foot-2, 201 pounds and drew a wide array of interest in the NCAA transfer portal. The allure of Purdue's system under new offensive coordinator Graham Harrell, which is expected to fit with Purdue's DNA of wide-open offenses, helped make it an appealing destination. Harrell is a Mike Leach disciple who has run different versions of the Air Raid in stops at North Texas, USC and West Virginia.

I watched one of the games he played in this year and from what I saw he was solid. Just shows you when your underclassmen QB is getting a crap ton of NIL money he better be the one playing instead. Hopefully the Card signing is a sign of the recruits Purdue is looking at in the portal. In his situation I understand why he chose the transfer portal instead of sticking around there. He chose “what’s best for him” after a few years of college ball not after his freshman year!
Boiler Up Mr Card!

And it was a quick about-face move from Allen.
Not likely to use them all though, presumably? That's only his extra Covid year? RS in 2020, then played significantly in 21 and 22.
Card seems to have he kind of arm talent, that with a big year could get himself drafted after 1 year.
Card is the type of transfer I was talking about that Purdue should be pursuing! This was a good and smart move.
If any player is scared of competition then we don’t need them here at Purdue!
We signed the guy from ucla and nobody left. I have to believe Allen. Was provided some incentive $$&$$$$$$ to leave or he was recruited by Brian to follow him.

Nothing but good things being said about Card on twitter, even some Texas fans were saying if it wasn’t for NIL he would/should of been QB1. Sounds like the Boilers got a good one!
Read that as a soph Card played Wr for his high school and over 1,000 yards receiving. Thats pretty impressive.
Watched him play in two games this year at TX...good arm! Mobile and can run when needed instead of forcing passes! I think he is perfect for our new RPO offense. Let's hope we pick up a few more solid kids from Portal in the next week.....I am having faith we will have a staff that can coach our players up!!! Get the most out of these kids! I have read way to many comments about writing next season off with out a clue of the ability of our new staff and team we will field!
I am a Texas fan, and I loved Card. I felt like he didn't get a fair shot this past year, and I am glad to see him go to a school and program that I respect. Best of luck, Hudson! I hope you kill it there!
Prather WR, OT from W Kent, OG from Miami OH, Steele at RB or the Iowa kid would be good for starters
Is Card going to enroll for this coming semester? Would help things alot
Haven't seen any confirmation but I would think that it's automatic.
In his defense. Texas is a run first team. Quick, reference looks as he only had about 1/3 plays go in the air.
They mentioned a lower leg injury when I was watching a replay of the Alabama game.
I'll still take a kid that started for Texas, Top 59 recruit, #2 dual threat QB behind B. Young. All of this tells me there's ability to be good to great. My guess, he will at least be good.
When was the last time we had a great QB? Drew? Maybe Orton? 2 of the best QB's we've had in the last 30-40 years at Purdue.
