  • In February 2017, he committed to play college-level American football at Wheaton College – a private Evangelical Christian liberal arts college in Wheaton, Illinois. However, less than a month later, he accepted a preferred walk-on spot with Purdue University.
  • He did not play any games for the university’s American football team, the Purdue Boilermakers, in 2017 and 2018. In 2019, Aidan played in 6 games, starting 3 of them. Overall that season, he completed 103 of 164 passes for 1,101 yards with 8 touchdowns and 4 interceptions.
  • He began the 2020 season as a starter but suffered a season-ending injury after just 3 games. In the 2021 season, he completed 315 of 440 passes for 3,712 yards with 28 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. In the 2022 season, in which he played 12 games, he completed 320 of 499 passes for 3,490 yards with 22 touchdowns and 13 interceptions.
  • In both 2021 and 2022, Aidan was included in the ‘Second-Team All-Big Ten‘. The Big Ten Conference is the oldest Division I collegiate athletic conference in the United States. Founded in 1896, it is based in Rosemont, Illinois, and its American football teams compete in the NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (the highest level of college football in the United States).
  • He chose to enter the 2023 NFL Draft after the end of the 2022 season. He ended his stint with Purdue University as its all-time leader in completion percentage (66.7%), passing efficiency (141.6), and 500-yard passing games (2).
