Purdue quarterback Aidan O'Connell and receiver Charlie Jones appear to be in perfect sync. The childhood friends hooked up for three first-half touchdowns in their second college game together, and then watched the rest of the Boilermakers' 56-0 victory over Indiana State on Saturday. Jones caught nine passes for 133 yards in his second straight 100-yard game since transferring to Purdue from Iowa. O'Connell went 17 of 19 for 211 yards and four scores while moving past Scott Campbell and into sixth on the school list for passing TDs. The first walk-on to earn Purdue's starting quarterback job now has 48 TD passes.The combination of O'Connell and Jones has looked virtually unstoppable so far, connecting 21 times for 286 yards and four scores thi s season. "I came here, obviously, for the offense and I like what I'm seeing so far," said Jones, who has already matched last season's reception total. "Definitely, it was a good move." The Sycamores (1-1) fell to 0-6 all-time against the Boilermakers (1-1), and it didn't Purdue long to take control. Cam Allen recovered a fumble on the game's first snap and four plays later King Doerue scored on a 4-yard TD run. Jones stiff-armed a defender on his way to a 7-yard TD catch and O'Connell found Paul Pife ri for a 26-yard score on the next two series. O'Connell closed out the half with TD passes of 36 and 5 yards to Jones to make it 35-0. - Purdue/AP College Football

Iowa transfer Charlie Jones will help the Boilermakers. A lot. Jones flashed plenty of athletic ability in drills and was involved in the return game. "Charlie can play football," coach Jeff Brohm said. "We're going to use him a lot of different ways on the outside, on the inside and returning kicks. He's got good receiving skills, he can run good routes, and he understands football. He definitely will be a big factor for us." - Journal and Courier

Two of Purdue's top wide receivers in 2022 are former Iowa Hawkeyes - Charlie Jones and Tyrone Tracy Jr. Jones announced his move to Purdue in June, and Tracy transferred in December. Jones, the 2021 Big Ten Return Specialist of the Year, had plenty of o pportunities with the Hawkeyes on special teams, but his offensive role was more limited. He had 34 of Iowa receivers' 360 targets in 2021, per Pro Football Focus. Purdue's receivers combined to receive 549 targets. Purdue coach Jeff Brohm: "(Jones) want ed to go somewhere and showcase what he could do at receiver… and get a chance to hopefully maybe play at the next level by catching a lot of balls and being in a passing offense." - The Gazette

Spring practice gave Aidan O'Connell and Iowa transfer Tyrone Tracy an opportunity to develop the important quarterback-receiver chemistry that should help Purdue's offense maintain a high level. However, Purdue coach Jeff Brohm has added another Hawkeye receiver transfer to the roster and O'Connell has a built-in history with Charlie Jones, who arrived on campus earlier this month and adds more depth to the position. O'Connell and Jones lived about 10 miles from each other in Illinois and played youth football and baseball together for six years starting in the third grade. O'Connell is from Long Grove, Ill., and Jones grew up in Deerfield. "In football, I basically threw it to him every play," said O'Connell, who attended Stevenson High School. "I kn ow him well. He's a great friend and has already had a lot of success and hopefully, he brings that over here."O'Connell also likes Jones' versatility to be used at different positions. He'll play a key role in Purdue's special teams since Jones w as named Big Ten Returner of the Year last season, but O'Connell said don't be fooled by his statistics as a receiver. "I don't think he's gotten to show as much but he's a skilled receiver with a lot of speed, a lot of quickness and lateral quickness to o. He's got great hands," said O'Connell, who will attend the Manning Passing Academy later this month. "Since he's been here, I've gotten to see how he handles himself, how much he watches film, studies the playbook, how he eats and all those things. He handles himself like a professional." - Journal and Courier

The line has formed for replacements at kickoff returner and punt returner for the Iowa football team. In an interview I had this week with Iowa special teams coordinator LeVar Woods for this Sunday's Gazette and this website, Woods talked about who migh t replace Charlie Jones, the 2021 Big Ten Return Specialist of the Year. Jones is transferring to Purdue to reunite with fellow former Iowa wide receiver Tyrone Tracy for his super senior season.As for the Hawkeyes..."You have Arland Bruce," said Woods, "who is a really good football player, not just a really good receiver. I think he's a great option. "I think that (defensive back) Connor DeJean is a really good option. I think there's a couple of young guys in Xavier Nwankpa and then also TJ Ha ll (freshmen defensive backs). "And then (defensive back) Terry Roberts is another guy. I think we have options." The mentioned players "have all expressed interest," Woods said. "And I can tell you that as soon as it became public that someone was leavi ng our roster, the Big Ten's Defensive Back of the Year (Riley Moss) - I got a text from him that said "Coach, I want to be the returner." Woods said candidates for the positions can use JUGS machines to catch footballs in summer workouts, "but the diffi cult thing comes when you have to catch it off the foot," which the players won't do until training camp starts in August. - The Gazette

In a jolt to the Iowa football program, wide receiver/kick-returner Charlie Jones has entered the NCAA transfer portal, as first reported by On3 Sports. Jones was the Big Ten's Return Specialist of the Year in 2021 after returning 25 kickoffs for a 25.4- yard average and a touchdown, and 37 punts for a 7.7-yard average. He returned a punt for a TD in 2020. He became the third Hawkeye to ever return both a punt and kickoff for scores.In addition, he had 21 catches for 323 yards and three touchdowns , including a 72-yard scoring grab against Minnesota. "This is exactly why I came here," Jones said after the game. "I was playing in the MAC, left the scholarship because I knew I could play in the Big Ten. "It was tough on me, tough on my family, but w e knew it was worth it. Moments in games like this is exactly why I came here." Jones, who will be a sixth-year senior, was placed on scholarship in December 2020. He announced four months ago that he was returning to Iowa for another season after consid ering going to the NFL. His return was viewed as a plus for the Hawkeyes. "I have unfinished business to accomplish and look forward to achieving my goals with this team," Jones said at the time on the team's social media accounts. - The Gazette
