Report: Charlie Jones Headed to Purdue

Tom Dienhart from Purdue.Rivals.Com is reporting Friday morning that former Iowa wide receiver Charlie Jones will be joining the Boilermakers. Jones will be following fellow Hawkeye wideout Tyrone Tracy Jr. in West Lafayette. 

Jones announced he was entering the transfer portal on May 25. That came about a month after telling reporters at Kinnick Stadium he was looking forward to his senior season with the Hawkeyes. 

At that time, Jones said he came back to college after looking into the NFL Draft to expand his receiving resume. He'd already proven himself as one of the country's top return men having been named the Big Ten Returner of the Year in 2021.
