Goldmine

• When playing paintball in the desert with his Perry (Gilbert, AZ) HS teammates in May 2017, Purdy suffered a punctured left hand from a Saguaro Cactus. "It's something that everyone's done," Purdy said on the game in the desert. "It's one of those group things that you do to build chemistry." The team-building exer- cise forced Perry's starting QB to miss spring ball headed into his senior season. However, Purdy was largely unfazed by the injury to his non-throwing hand as the Queen Creek, AZ native threw for 4,405 yds. and 57 TDs that fall en route to winning Arizona Gato- rade Player of the Year.
