In 2015, Brock Purdy began his varsity football career as a sophomore at Perry High School. Perry was placed in the 6A Division Premier Region, which was ranked the sixth toughest region in the US. Purdy’s performance led Perry to the 6A Division AIA State Championship in 2016 and 2017. He achieved a 27-13 record and was named Gatorade’s Football Player of the Year and The Arizona Republic’s high school football player of the Year. He committed to Iowa State University in 2018 as a three-star prospect.
After starting as the third-string quarterback for Iowa State University in 2018, Brock Purdy became the starter when the first two quarterbacks were unavailable. He had an impressive 7-2 record, passing for 2,250 yards, 16 touchdowns, and seven interceptions. In his sophomore year, he started all 13 games, highlighted by a school record-breaking game of 510 total yards and three touchdowns against Louisiana-Monroe. Purdy led the Big-12 in passing yards with 3,982 and shattered a school record with 35 total touchdowns.
Although Breece Hall’s ascent pushed the Cyclones to a 9-3 record and their greatest ranking in program history, Purdy’s junior season saw less spectacular results. He completed 20 of 23 throws for three touchdowns and one running score in a 42-6 victory against West Virginia, and he threw no interceptions while winning 45-0 against Kansas State. In the Fiesta Bowl victory over Oregon, Purdy scored a touchdown both via the air and on the ground. Purdy guided the Cyclones to a 7-6 record and multiple school records during his final year.
Purdy is currently dating Jenna Brandt and made it official recently. He even upset Tampa Bay Buccaneers great Tom Brady in his first career start. Brandt was there to support Purdy, of course, and was even seen kissing him after his impressive victory.
Although Purdy hasn’t said much about his connection with Brandt, they both signed up to be student-athletes at Iowa State University in 2018. While Brandt played setter for the volleyball team, Purdy spent most of his time on the football pitch. Despite the fact that Brandt finally went to the University of Northern Iowa in 2021, it is evident that the two maintained in touch and eventually had a romantic relationship.
Born on October 26, 1999, Brandt spent her childhood in Sumner, Iowa, where she also has siblings Kaylyn, Isaiah, and Morgan as well as parents Kevin and Amy. She participated in track & field and volleyball while a student at Sumner-Fredericksburg High School, where she also played on a club volleyball team.
At the beginning of her senior year, Brandt made a commitment to play volleyball for Iowa State University. She graduated in 2018. Before moving to the University of Northern Iowa, she played three seasons as a setter for the Iowa State Cyclones during her undergraduate volleyball career. In 2022, Brandt finished her collegiate volleyball career and expressed her gratitude to UNI for the opportunity.
As of 2023, Purdy has a net worth of $6 million mainly due to his time in the NFL. His net worth numbers are huge and there are chances that he might enter into the top-paid players list in the near future. His major source of income is basketball and doesn’t have any family business to look upon. With his consistent performance, Purdy will soon add more numbers to his net worth.
