Jalen Hurts now in Transfer Portal

[tallyho]

He is headed to Oklahoma.

 

[USMC-TNVOL]

They have Austin Kendall on the roster and Spencer Rattler coming in. Just dont see OU as an option for him.

So what if there are two people on the roster? What makes you think they wouldn’t want him?

 

[bamawriter]

I don't see Jalen diving right into another QB battle. OU seems very unlikely.

Why would I be Salty?

It makes perfect sense if MD is going to run Locksley's offense. Why would he want to learn another offense with one year of eligibility left.

FAU makes sense too.

He's technically learned 3 offenses in 3 years.... And it isn't like Locksley was some mastermind calling offense. Tua and Co. was just that good. Locksley would be the worst choice out of them all for Hurts. If he wants to win one last title, his best chance would likely be transferring to Florida if Mullen isn't all in on Franks or going to OU if Murray leaves. If he basically wants a 12 month practice to get ready for the combine and draft, go to FAU and finish things with Kiffin.

OU is very unlikely as theres a good chance he wouldn't win the starting position. He's a Texas kid so I'd guess he's going back home to TCU. I'd be shocked if he stayed in the sec

Shoulda been blue font, my bad!

Theres zero chance Saban would allow him to come to an SEC rival. I understand Saban has no formal power to stop him, but Saban has enough power and influence with the SEC offices just miles down the road that this situation would never be allowed.

On top of that, there's no way a guy of his caliber is going to risk his health playing behind out OL for one year. No. Just no.

Lol saban can't do **** about it, no matter what pull he thinks he has. This is an NCAA rule anyway.

Hurts is a grad transfer. He can't be restricted.

Hey BW, where is this kid going?

I would guess he'd go to Maryland. Puts him close to home and he'd get to keep working with Locksley.

Not BW, but I would guess Maryland would have an in...he's from there.

Was it a shock that he decided to transfer out?

I know some Bama fans felt like he would just hang around especially after bailing out Bama in Atl.

 

[VOLnMiami]

We don't play the style of offense that fits his style

 

[bamawriter]

Was it a shock that he decided to transfer out?

I would have been way, way more shocked had Hurts decided to stay.

It doesn't really shock me.

He's a gifted football player. Tua just did things better for the most part.

As I said clearly in my post. I understand completely that Saban has no FORMAL power to stop it ;-)

 

[k-town_king]

He could come to TN, force JG to transfer, hen CJP and Chaney could focus on the future QB's. Perfect scenario..not gonna happen. Stuck with JG for at least 6 more games.

Up late on the meth again huh?

But Keller Chryst did? Funny you wanted him but not Hurts. lmao




He won't be coming anyway. He isn't going anywhere with any competition.

Chryst is a game manager, Hurts is a game changer

 

[k-town_king]

Yea thats why I think its really funny that someone who wanted Keller Chryst to come wouldn't want Hurts to come.

 

[Jeremy Roenick]

Hurts HAS to play where ever he ends up. His NFL draft stock depends on it.

What's he going to do, call other coaches and tell them not to do anything to improve?
