Purdue adds UNLV TE Christian Earls from the transfer portal
Purdue has added another player from the portal: UNLV TE Christian Earls.
The 6-8, 290-pound Earls has one year of eligibility. He played in seven games this past season for UNLV, coming back from a broken foot suffered in camp.
A native of Chandler, Ariz., who played at Basha High, Earls was a midyear signee who competed in spring practice in 2023 with the Rebels. He went on to catch a 14-yard pass in the 2023 season opener vs. Bryant and followed that up with an 11-yard reception at eventual national champion Michigan one week later.
