Northern Arizona TE Jeter Purdy (@PurdyJeter) is one of the most dynamic tight ends in the FCS. The Atchison, Kansas native earned Freshman All-American honors from FCS Football Central after recording 29 receptions for 415 yards and 2 TDs. With his athleticism and playmaking ability, I expect Purdy to build on a strong freshman campaign and become a focal point of Northern Arizona's passing game. #FCS #RaiseTheFlag #BigSkyFB
