Former Georgia offensive lineman Marques Easley has committed to Purdue.
He entered the transfer portal on April 17 and still all has all four years of eligibility remaining after redshirting with the Bulldogs in 2024.
Easley was suspended from all football activities indefinitely by Georgia head coach Kirby Smart in March, which came after he crashed his car into an apartment complex in Athens. Easley was charged with three counts of reckless conduct and one count of reckless driving, according to police reports, which are all misdemeanors.
At Purdue, Easley will play under head coach Barry Odom, offensive coordinator/tight ends coach Josh Henson, offensive line coach Vance Vice and the rest of the Boilermakers' staff.
He appeared in two games for Georgia in 2025, seeing action in the Bulldogs' victories over Tennessee Tech and Massachusetts. Easley played seven offensive snaps in a 48-3 win over the Golden Eagles on Sept. 7, 2024, according to Pro Football Focus.
The 6-foot-5, 325-pound Easley was an early enrollee as a true freshman and went through spring ball with the Bulldogs in 2024.
Easley will join former Georgia teammate Nitro Tuggle — who was also suspended indefinitely by Smart for a separate reckless driving incident — with Purdue, as the wide receiver committed to the Boilermakers on April 21.
As a recruit in the 2024 class, Easley was rated as a four-star offensive guard out of Kankakee High School in Peoria, Illinois. He ranked as the No. 11 player in Illinois and No. 17 offensive guard in the cycle. He had over 30 scholarship offers coming out high school.
