WEST LAFAYETTE – Jim Everett will be busy when the former Purdue star quarterback returns to West Lafayette in about a week.

Everett is inducted into the Indiana Football Hall of Fame during a reception and also supports the Tyler Trent Golf Outing at Coyote Crossing. It will also be recognized at the September 4th season opener when the Boilermakers face Oregon State at Ross Ade Stadium.

As an all-American quarterback for the Boilermakers in the early 1980s and a pure QB for the Los Angeles Rams in the 1990s, Everett will be featured at the National Football Foundation Honors Reception at Coyote Crossing Golf Club on September 2. The dessert reception starts at 7:30 p.m. and tickets are $ 25.

The Tyler Trent Golf Outing takes place on September 3rd at Coyote Crossing. The scramble format begins with registration at 9am and a shotgun launch at 10am. The cost is $ 600 per quad or $ 150 per person ($ 75 per student for college ages and younger), including a ticket to the NFF Honors Reception the night before.

The Joe Tiller Chapter of the National Football Foundation in northwest Indiana is sponsoring the event in partnership with the Center for Cancer Research, Learfield / Purdue Sports Properties, and Boilers Inc.

The registration fee includes 18 holes of golf, cart, shirt, cap, balls, breakfast snacks, packed lunches, drinks and pizza reception and many Purdue-oriented prices. You can find the online registration at https://www.dixongives.com/tylertrent and www.nfftillerchapter.org.

All proceeds go to the Purdue Center for Cancer Research in honor of Tyler Trent, the Purdue “superfan” student who died in 2019 after a high profile battle with osteosarcoma cancer.
