Purdue quarterback Austin Appleby will transfer to Florida as a graduate transfer and will be immediately eligible in 2016, according to a report from Rivals' Purdue site, Gold and Black.
Appleby entered the 2015 season as Purdue's starter after playing extensively in the final eight games of the 2014 season, but was benched by Purdue coach Darell Hazell after a 9-for-28 performance with two interceptions in a 51-24 loss to Virginia Tech in September. Appleby would return to the starting lineup in November, and threw for 259 yards and a touchdown against then-undefeated Iowa before throwing for 332 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions against Indiana in Purdue's season finale.
