Former Wisconsin WR Cephus Signs with Houston Texans

Former Wisconsin wide receiver Quintez Cephus signed with the Houston Texans, aiming to make his first NFL 53-man roster since his time with the Detroit Lions from 2020 to 2022. Despite a history of injuries and a suspension for violating the NFL's gambling policy, Cephus impressed during the 2024 preseason and will compete in a crowded Texans receiving corps. Meanwhile, Arizona State's football team has welcomed Purdue transfer defensive backs Kyndrich Breedlove and Nyland Green, who reunited by chance and were drawn by the Sun Devils' competitive locker room and coaching staff. Breedlove and Green hope to bolster Arizona State's defense, which is considered significantly more talented than their previous team at Purdue. Purdue football also saw the departure of receiver Charles Ross, a USC transfer, due to health reasons, ending his involvement with the Boilermakers after participating in spring practices but missing fall camp. Ross's exit leaves Purdue with questions at the receiver position despite earlier plans to add offensive playmakers through the transfer portal.
