The No. 12 jersey is the shirt of legends at Purdue. It is the famous quarterback jersey, so it is no surprise that our incoming freshman QB is wearing it.
Jared Sparks – Fr.
Geismar, LA (Dutchtown HS)
6’1”, 200 pounds
Quarterback
2016 Projection: Likely Redshirt
Sparks is more of a dual-threat QB as opposed to the passers that David Blough and Elijah Sindelar are. He was both a runner and a passer last season and was an all-District selection for a team that went 8-4.
