In a dramatic finish on September 12, former Georgia transfer wide receiver De'Nylon Morrissette secured a crucial touchdown for the Purdue Boilermakers during their game against Wake Forest. The catch occurred in overtime, tying the game at 30 after quarterback Ryan Browne connected with him on a fourth-and-nine play. Despite Morrissette's efforts and Browne's impressive performance, completing 32 of 42 passes for 329 yards, Purdue ultimately fell short, losing 38-36 in double overtime. Morrissette, who missed last season due to injury, is expected to play a larger role this season with Purdue after transferring from Georgia in 2024.
