His teammates and coaches honored him with the “Most Inspiring Player” Award on Sunday at Alabama’s annual awards banquet in Birmingham, but national media finally recognized Jalen Hurts for what he is after seeing his performance in the Southeastern Conference title game.
Although he will be one of the finalists for the Heisman Trophy, Georgia was prepared for sophomore Tua Tagovailoa and he missed the fourth quarter due to an ankle injury.
Prior to Hurts coming in, the scouting report on him was he is not an “effective passer.”
Along with that, there were many people who thought he would not be on the roster this season or he takes the redshirt rule and does not play.
