Park Ridge (IL) Maine South 2027 quarterback Jameson Purcell has been recently contacted by the Indiana Hoosiers football staff and is one of the hottest names entering this year’s off-season in the recruiting world.
Purcell was offered by former quarterback coach/offensive coordinator Tino Sunseri and Curt Cignetti back in April.
Since then Chandler Whitmer who took over directly in Sunseri’s role and Mike Shanahan the offensive coordinator has reached out to the class of 2027 quarterback and hopes to have him visit Indiana during summer camp and during the season as well.
Jameson Purcell currently holds offers from Tennessee, Georgia, Florida, Miami, Utah, UCLA, Ole Miss, Washington, Notre Dame, Michigan, Auburn, Texas A&M, Oregon and many more.
Purcell is not yet ranked in the class of 2027 but is projected as a four-star recruit. He reminds me a ton of former Michigan and current Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J McCarthy.
“Jameson has very good size for a 2027 Dual Threat QB at 6’2″ 185 pounds,” QB Hit List reported. “Shows the ability to clear himself from traffic, creating open passing lanes. Good vision downfield, locking in on his target while picking apart the defense.”
While this is impressive, his best quality is actually his mental fortitude.
“He’s not easily distracted by the noise around him,” QB Hit List noted. “He’s a leader on the field who stays calm under pressure. Good patience as he waits for his receivers’ breaks. He does a nice job picking up defense pressure.”
“”[Decision making] is where Jameson excels, he’s wise beyond his years. He works well through his progressions, able to check down from one target to another.””QB Hit List
As a sophomore this season, Purcell led Maine South to an 8-4 overall record. He threw for 2,572 yards and 30 touchdowns and completed 70 percent of his passes.
