Purdue has landed a preferred walk-on quarterback: Hayden Timosciek.

The 6-7, 235-pound Timosciek committed on Friday. He plays for Lockport (Ill.) Township High in the Chicago area.

Timosciek is familiar with several Boilermakers from working out at Throw It Deep quarterback/receiver academy in the Chicago area.

"Knowing guys like Brady Allen and Aidan O'Connell," he said. "That was big. And the culture. They have a good culture and they win."

Timosciek says he had interest from Pioneer League schools but no offers. He will arrive on campus in August.

"I am more of a pure pocket passer," he said. "I'll move a little bit. I rely on my eyes and arm a lot."

Timosciek will join a deep collection of quarterbacks at Purdue: Aidan O'Connell, Austin Burton, Michael Alaimo, Brady Allen, Kyle Adams, Jack Albers, Drake Hagerman and Christian Gelov.
