Quarterback Ryan Browne has opted to transfer back to Purdue after joining North Carolina earlier this offseason.
Browne transferred to the Tar Heels in December after two seasons with the Boilermakers. The 6-foot-4, 210-pound quarterback went through spring practice under new North Carolina head coach Bill Belichick before making his intentions known on social media Friday.

That came one day after the Tar Heels landed a commitment from South Alabama transfer quarterback Gio Lopez.
Browne threw for 636 yards and four touchdowns and rushed for 240 yards in nine games over the past two seasons with Purdue.
He is expected to compete for a starting job on the Boilermakers with Arkansas transfer Malachi Singleton, Washington State transfer Evans Chuba and former Arizona State transfer Bennett Meredith.
