Purdue football's Ryan Browne as 2026 starter, transfer portal recap, and Boilermaker buy/sell/hold analysis on this episode of Locked On Boilermakers.
Ryan Browne steps into the spotlight as Purdue Boilermakers’ likely starter for 2026—can he reverse his Big Ten struggles and ignite a program rebound? Nick Arvin examines Browne’s up-and-down performances, the turnover woes that shaped last season, and what Purdue’s new-look roster means for their offensive identity. With Barry Odom doubling down on Brown and prioritizing roster depth over a high-cost QB, will this calculated gamble deliver conference wins?
Key segments unpack Purdue’s aggressive transfer portal activity, including standout additions like Texas running back Jerrick Gibson, Michigan defensive back Jaden Mangham, and crucial offensive line reinforcements from USC and South Carolina. Plus, Nick Arvin weighs buy, sell, hold on Boilermaker football and basketball, spotlighting Daniel Jacobsen’s NBA draft potential and Purdue’s grip on the Big Ten. Can Purdue’s retooled lineup break their losing streak and fuel optimism for Barry Odom’s future?
