Purdue adds UCF WR Chauncey Magwood from transfer portal

Purdue coach Barry Odom has added a player to his 2025 roster via the transfer portal: Central Florida WR Chauncey Magwood, according to Pete Nakos of On3.

He is the second wideout in the class and the 17th portal commit overall for the Boilermakers in this cycle. Magwood also is the second player (QB EJ Colson) from UCF to join Purdue. He will have one year of eligibility.

A native of Albany, Ga., Magwood caught five passes for 102 yards as a redshirt junior in 2024 at UCF to bring his career total to 17 receptions for 263 yards with one touchdown.

The 6-0, 187-pound Magwood began his career at Kentucky, where he made eight grabs for 121 yards and a TD in two seasons (2021-22) in Lexington, playing in 25 of 26 games.

Magwood picked Kentucky over Arkansas, Florida State, Louisville, Nebraska and South Carolina, arriving on campus as a mid-year enrollee.
