Brock Purdy (born December 27, 1999) is an American football quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at Iowa State and was selected by the 49ers with the final pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, making him the Mr. Irrelevant of that year.

Early years

Purdy is a native of Queen Creek, Arizona and played high school football for Perry High School.[1] He is the middle child of Shawn and Carrie Purdy. His older sister, Whitney Purdy played softball at Southeastern University. Younger brother Chubba Purdy also became the starting quarterback at Perry[2] before being recruited to Florida State as a dual threat quarterback.[3]

High school career

Purdy started his varsity football career during the 2015 season as a sophomore for the newly opened Perry High School. In 2016, the Arizona Interscholastic Association (AIA) adjusted the athletic regions, placing Perry in the 6A Division Premier Region, ranked as the sixth toughest region in the nation.[4] Purdy's performance would elevate Perry into the 6A Division AIA State Championship game in 2016 and 2017, losing 65–28 and 48–42 respectively, both to Chandler High School.[5]

During his tenure Perry began to establish itself as a football power in Arizona, competing against Chandler Unified School District's more established powerhouse programs such as Chandler (0–5), Hamilton (4–2), and Basha (2–1). Overall Purdy achieved a 27–13 record at Perry. He was named Gatorade's Football Player of the Year and was The Arizona Republic's high school football player of the year.[6][7][8]

Purdy was considered a three-star prospect by 247Sports.[9][10] He signed his letter of intent to commit to Iowa State University on February 7, 2018, enrolling in June of the same year.[11][12][13]

College career

Purdy entered his freshman year at Iowa State in 2018 as the third string to Kyle Kempt and Zeb Noland. He became the starter after Kempt was injured and Noland was ineffective.[14][15] Overall he started eight games, completing 146 of 220 passes for 2,250 yards, 16 touchdowns, and seven interceptions.[16][17] He also rushed for 308 yards and five touchdowns. He returned as the starter in 2019.[18]
