Breaking:Caitlin Clark just fired agent after strong outburst
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy and Iowa Hawkeye’s NCAA women’s basketball superstar Caitlin Clark have an unlikely connection, with the WNBA-bound 22 year old’s brother a former college football star.
Brock Purdy has a surprising link to NCAA women’s basketball superstar Caitlin Clark with the 22-year-old WNBA-bound star’s brother a former college football teammate of the San Francisco 49ers quarterback.
Purdy, 24, spent four years at Iowa State, where he recorded the most wins of any quarterback in the college’s football program history with a 30-17 record while also leading the team to four straight bowl games. The 2022 NFL Draft’s “Mr.Irrelevant” is also Iowa’s leader in passing yards with 12,170, touchdown passes with 81, completions with 993, and completion percentage at an impressive 67.7 percent
Interestingly, his backup quarterback was basketball sensation Clark’s older brother Blake Clark, who attended Iowa State from 2018 to 2022. Purdy and Blake weren’t just teammates sharing a locker room, though, they also grew pretty close together.
So much so, that Blake will be at Purdy’s wedding to fiancee Jenna Brandt. The couple met at Iowa State during their college days and although a date for the wedding is unknown at this point, Blake is already on the guest list.
Brock Purdy, the 49ers’ quarterback, couldn’t hide his joy when talking about the Clark family before his team’s big game at Super Bowl LVIII. He was all smiles as he chatted with reporter and internet star Austin Franklin.
