The NFL has numerous young talents and Brock Purdy is undoubtedly one of them. The star quarterback has been astonishing ever since he began his career last year. He got the name “Mr. Irrelevant” after the San Francisco 49ers drafted them as their last pick. However, Purdy has proved to be anything but irrelevant to the team. Throughout his journey, the star family has a supportive family and fiancée Jenna Brandt.
Brock Purdy recently made headlines after the 49ers defeated the New York Giants by 30-12. During the game, the QB got 2 touchdowns for 310 passing yards leading the team to a victory. The 23-year-old player grabbed the limelight last year after he thrashed the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and NFL legend Tom Brady. It might probably be one of the biggest achievements of his life to defeat the legend himself.
However, apart from his career, the NFL star has created waves at times with his love life as well. It’s worth noting that despite being just 23, Brock Purdy is engaged. The star quarterback has a beautiful fiancée, Jenna Brandt, who has been with him through thick and thin. Along with his family, Brandt has been one of his biggest supporters.
A look at the personal life of Jenna Brandt
Born in October 1999, Jenna Brandt is of American origin. She was born to Kevin and Amy Brandt in Sumner, Iowa, and has grown up there. Apart from her, Jenna’s parents have 3 more kids- Isaiah, Kaylyn, and Morgan. As per reports, the fiancée of Brock Purdy went to Sumner-Fredericksburg High School.
Jenna Brandt reportedly comes from a family full of athletes, and she used to play volleyball in high school. She played with the school team for all 4 years and even led the team twice. The fact that Jenna was a 2-time captain is proof enough that she was great at volleyball. Along with that, she also used to participate in track and field competitions.
After high school, Jenna went to the renowned Iowa State University in 2018. There, the star player joined the University’s volleyball team and impressed everyone there as well. In January last year, she revealed that wearing the university’s jersey was “a dream come true” for her.
“I cannot thank UNI enough for this life-changing experience… thank you to every single person who has crossed my path through this journey that took turns, but each step was for a reason,” she wrote in an Instagram post.
It’s worth noting that along with Jenna Brandt, her siblings are also aspiring athletes. According to reports, her sister has been a softball player, and her brother is into football. He reportedly plays as a quarterback and wants to make it to the NFL like the 49ers star Purdy.
Tracing Brock Purdy and Jenna Brandt’s relationship timeline
Brock Purdy and Jenna Brandt have preferred to always keep their romance low-profile. However, at the same time, the two still post pictures with each other on social media. Both Purdy and Jenna attended Iowa State University. As per reports, the duo met for the first time at University itself.
The star quarterback and the volleyball star have never revealed anything about their first meeting. But, reports suggest that they crossed paths for the first time on the college campus. Purdy and Jenna Brandt were together at the university until 2021 before she moved to the University of Northern Iowa. However, it’s obvious that the couple still stayed in touch.
