  Draft Scout by Conference









  As Jeff Brohm looks to push Purdue's program forward after back-to-back losing seasons, he'll begin this important year with a starting quarterback who can add mobility while leaning on his experience. Jack Plummer features both and has earned the starting job for the Sept. 4 season-opener when the Boilermakers host Oregon State at Ross-Ade Stadium. Plummer won a close competition with Aidan O'Connell, last year's opening-day starter, and Austin Burton, a transfer from UCLA prior to last season but has yet to play. Just the threat of a running quarterback should help expand Brohm's offense to a different level. With struggles in the running game the last two seasons, the Boilermakers need a threat on the ground, even if it comes from the quarterback position.

The mobility of Plummer, along with Burton, has always been appealing to Brohm. The option of having a dual-threat at quarterback opens up Brohm's playbook and gives the offense an opportunity to keep defenses off-balanced and produce more big plays. Plummer will be asked to use his legs more in key situations - third down plays and in the red zone. "We think the quarterback position has to have that threat with the ball in his hands and the defense has to honor him and respect him," Brohm said. "It's something we always have to have in the game plan. "We feel like it has to be an option and we have to utilize it. Taking care of the football when that's being done and protecting yourself when you do run and get yards and get positive plays and get down when you have to. If the down and distance require you to go get the first down, that's what you have to do." - Journal and Courier
