Elijah Canion will head north to finish his college career as the former Auburn wide receiver announced that he would transfer to Purdue.
The 6-foot-4 and 214-pound sophomore out of Hollywood, Fla. entered the transfer portal about 2 weeks ago after he struggled to find playing time in 2 seasons with the Tigers. He was a 3-star recruit in the 2020 class rated as the 85th wideout in his class and the 525th overall prospect, per the 247 Composite.
In his Auburn career, he made just 6 appearances and registered 7 receptions for 126 yards. He had just 4 catches this season. This past season, he appeared in just 4 games, as he struggled to see the field as SEC play got underway.
