Jumbo Package: Tua Tagovailoa speaks to the media

A former Alabama quarterback is set to take over as the starter at his new school.

Layne Hatcher, a member of the Crimson Tide’s 2018 recruiting class who transferred to Arkansas State in April, will be the team’s starter moving forward, it was announced Wednesday night.

Hatcher is stepping in as the replacement for Logan Bonner, who was lost to a season-ending injury.

Good for Hatcher. His one season in Tuscaloosa as a hedge in case Jalen Hurts transferred early wound up being a role we didn’t need, but it very well could have been.
