Purdue gets transfer from Ga. Tech

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) -- Wide receiver D.J. Donley will leave Georgia Tech and play for Purdue starting in 2009.

Donley intends to make the move this summer and will have three years of eligibility, Purdue said in a news release Tuesday.

As a freshman for the Yellow Jackets last season, the 6-foot-4 Donley had eight receptions for 101 yards and a touchdown in 13 games. He caught a 20-yard touchdown pass and blocked a punt against Fresno State in a 40-28 loss in the Humanitarian Bowl on Dec. 31.

Co-starting running back Jaysen Taylor is out for the season after knee surgery. This kid can't seem to catch a break.


On a lighter note, everyone who took Kory Sheets in your fantasy draft, please do a little jig. :groove:

I hope anybody who's taking Krory Sheets is in a Big Ten only league.:)

18th and final round pick with the hope that he would put together a full season for once. 1100 all-purpose yards and 13 td's last season. Plus, Purdue is breaking in almost an entirely new receiving core and now he won't be sharing carries with Taylor.

Ohio State football: Which quarterback will the Buckeyes face next week?

Saturday's 20-6 to Penn State didn't go very well for Purdue quarterback Curtis Painter.


Let's look ahead to next week quickly. Purdue will visit Ohio State at 3:30, maybe with its own quarterback controversy. Fifth-year senior Curtis Painter, who has his own Heisman website, was yanked against Penn State today in favor of backup Joey Elliott after completing 13 of 22 passes for 112 yards with no touchdowns and one interception.
Painter already has a less-than-impressive effort against the Buckeyes under his belt. Last year in a primetime game at Purdue, Painter was 31 of 60 for 268 yards and one touchdown in a 23-7 loss, with eight of the completions, 76 of the yards and the touchdown coming on the final drive against Ohio State's backup defense.
It'll be interesting to see how Joe Tiller handles this. Elliott isn't exactly Terrelle Pryor - he's a junior who was the 18th-ranked pro-style quarterback according to Rivals.com in the Class of 2005, with 22 college completions to his name. And Painter had a better resume than Todd Boeckman - he's third all-time in Big Ten history, not just Purdue history, in completions and fifth in passing yards.
