be a freshman at florida state this upcoming year but that's for another video some other day brock purdy was born in the southwestern part of the country as he was raised in arizona he loved football from a young age and always took a liking to playing quarterback the purdy family grew up in chandler arizona and brock would eventually go on to play for perry high school he started as a high school sophomore and was really good over the next three years he torched sixth a level competition and was on track to set records he was one of the best if not the best quarterback in the state and he was playing at a high level against a good team so why exactly was he not getting a lot of recruiting interest rock had almost given up on the idea of playing college football as by the time he was a senior he really didn't have a noteworthy offer he wondered if he should have pursued baseball full-time and as a religious man he was losing patience with god but he trusted the process i literally cannot find anything on the internet as to why he wasn't recruited heavily except for the fact that he got mono before his junior year and he could have went to big time camps during that time but i guess he truly just went under the radar that was until the end of his senior year at least before then he would go to local camps and play in 7v7 regional games but his best offer was unlv he spent his weekends training with high-profile organ quarterback tyler xiao but nothing was really happening going into his senior year though his mentality remained strong and he led his school team to the state final where they were matched up against phoenix mountain point high school in that game he would go on to torch the other team in front of some scouts this is where things finally began to go in favor of him on the season he set a six a season record for passing yards 4405 and 57 touchdowns at first he was getting attention from school such as southern utah but he knew if he got his team to the state title game everything was going to change as i said earlier that's exactly what he did and he dominated when he got there things really changed when in december he was offered a preferred walk-on position from nick saban in alabama within 24 hours a coach from kansas visit him and then boise state offered a lot of kids would have jumped on that offer but purdy wanted to wait it out and wait till the second signing period to get better offers suddenly he got an offer from alabama and ucf and schools were offering him left and right he went on a visit to iowa state where he was greeted by cyclones fans chanting we want brock and he said he felt like home he eventually visited texas a m2 and got to talk to nick saban but he already knew where he wanted to go he ended up committing to matt campbell and became the 2018 quarterback for iowa state brock was a late riser but he had trusted the process and everything worked out for him according to 24 7 sports purdy was a three-star recruit the number six pro-style quarterback and the 839th best player in the class of 2018. but like he had done his entire life he was about to prove to the world he deserved to be ranked higher going into the 2018 season iowa state was in her third year under head coach matt campbell who had made the cyclones relevant for the first time in years i actually made a video about how matt campbell built iowa state a few weeks ago and i will leave a link in the description they were coming off a magical 2017 campaign and their quarterback kyle kempt was back as a senior behind kent was conor nolan and then purdy was sitting there at third david montgomery was arguably the best running back in the big 12 and akeem butler was going to emerge as a star i actually also made a video about hakeem butler a few weeks ago so be sure to check that one out too kemp would start in their week one opener against iowa he would go down with an injury in their loss nolan was inserted as a starter the following week against number five oklahoma and he struggled mightily he would also start in their next two games against akron and tcu before a change was needed at quarterback the true freshman purdy started most of the game against number 25 oklahoma state and he went on the throw for 318 yards and four touchdowns and their road win against the cowboys brock had already gotten his chance and he took full advantage of the opportunity he had proven he was legit in his first start and he was going to be the future of the team the following week he threw for 250 more yards and three touchdowns in their huge upset win over will greer in west virginia and iowa state was now becoming known for upsetting teams at home he put up another 250 yards and two touchdowns against texas tech and three more in their win over kansas cyclones were now 5-3 and jumped into the ap poll at number 23. they would beat baylor despite a poor game from purdy but their five-game winning streak was about to come to an end on the road against number 15 texas brock really struggled as he threw for no touchdowns and an interception in their road loss purity would bounce back though as he would throw for nearly 400 yards and two touchdowns in their close win over kansas state despite only throwing for one touchdown the cyclones survived a scare from drake as they won 27-24 brock had led them back to a bowl game and they were set to play number 13 washington state in the alamo bowl he would throw for two interceptions and no touchdowns in their close loss as a true freshman purdy threw for 2250 yards 16 touchdowns and seven interceptions as he completed 67 of his passes for a first year starter that was pretty good he was one of the best freshman quarterbacks in college football going into 2019 expectations went up for brock and cyclones but they would need to find a new running match and a go-to wide receiver first at running back keane nuwangu johnny lang and bruce hall would all get a chance to shine and deshante jones and tarak milton would become the go-to ride-outs iowa state started out the season ranked number 21 in the country and were picked to finish third in the big 12. they opened up the season against northern iowa and unfortunately it took them three overtimes to finish them off and purdy would throw for two touchdowns it was not a good look for the cyclones but college gameday came but college game they came to ames the following week for their showdown in the cyhawk trophy game against iowa in a game that was delayed and took forever iowa state had a chance to win but a late fumble on a punt return would end up costing them the game purdy struggled against the hawkeyes and the team's struggles against iowa continued he threw for three touchdowns against louisiana monroe and two more in their loss to baylor by way of a game-winning field goal he was mediocre against tcu in west virginia but they won both those games he broke out with a three touchdown performance in their win over texas tech before a huge matchup against oklahoma state the cowboys defense was ready this time as party would throw three picks in their close loss despite a career-high five touchdowns they lost to oklahoma after a failed two-point conversion they continued their home upset narrative in 2019 with a win over 19 texas he would then throw for four touchdowns in a win over kansas and he finished the regular season with a poor game against kansas state and the cyclones lost the team went seven and five in the regular season and for some reason we're matched up against notre dame in the camping world bowl in the matchup that i really did not like for isu they got blown out 33-9 by way of the number 15 fighting irish and pearly didn't throw for an interception or a touchdown in that game as a sophomore he was named to the all big 12 second team after e3 for 3982 yards 27 touchdowns and 9 interceptions while completing 66 percent of his passes hardy became the best quarterback in the big 12 behind oklahoma's jalen hurts and he's becoming a hot name for the 2021 nfl draft going into 2020 i expect iowa state to have a big year as they have him coming back and bruce hall has emerged as a young star running back the coach's poll actually came out today and the cyclones are starting out at number 25 in the country i still feel like they need to figure out the wide receiver position though because i think purdy needs a true star to throw the ball too charlie collar is one of the best tight ends in college football and he should definitely step up a ton of sights have purdy as a dark horse or a sleeper candidate for the 2021 nfl draft and some sites haven't going as high as the late first round behind trevor lawrence justin fields and north dakota state's trey lance there aren't many big names or elite names in the 21 class and the 2021 class so some are looking for brock to be the fourth best he has shown the ability to make any throw on the field and he really does well under pressure has the size the confidence and the intangibles plus he has the ability to run the ball as he scored 13 rushing touchdowns in his two-year career so far i really like him i think he could be a good nfl quarterback someday but we will just have to wait and see i'm looking forward to watching iowa state in a few weeks and you guys should be too if you enjoyed his story thinking he's a good quarterback or just want to support the channel in general be sure to smash that like button and every like helps this video and channel
