12 Days to Purdue Football: Austin Burton & Jah’von Grigsby

Welcome to the last weekend without college football January! Let’s kick it off with a double player day.

Austin Burton - Sr. (6)

Newton, MA (West Orange HS)

6’3”, 210 pounds

Quarterback

2022 Projection: Reserve

While Aidan O’Connell is the unquestioned starter at quarterback, we will still likely see Burton from time-to-time. That’s mostly because AOC is about as mobile as the Boilermaker statue. Last season Burton often got a couple of snaps per game because of his ability to run, giving the offense another element.
