Purdue lands Texas QB Hudson Card from portal
The Purdue offense added an interesting piece today when Texas quarterback Hudson Card committed to the Boilermakers.
The 6-2, 201-pound Card is a redshirt sophomore who will have three years of eligibility remaining in West Lafayette. He will be part of a quarterback room that loses Aidan O’Connell, Austin Burton and Brady Allen but is slated to return scholarship quarterbacks Michael Alaimo and Ryan Browne, an early enrollee.
Card joins a program now led by new coach Ryan Walters, who has tabbed Graham Harrell as offensive coordinator. Harrell is known for having quarterback-centric offenses, having been brought up in the “Air Raid” family under the late Mike Leach.
Card, a highly touted product from Lake Travis High in Austin, threw for 1,523 yards and 11 touchdowns with the Longhorns. He redshirted his first year in Austin in 2020 after playing in just two games.
Card started three games for Texas this year, beating Texas-San Antonio and West Virginia. He started two games in 2021.

Card held offers from the likes of Alabama, Ohio State and Oregon coming out of high school. He found himself in a quarterback room in Austin that featured Quinn Ewers with prized prospect Arch Manning slated to come aboard.
