Report: Alabama quarterback Jalen Hurts enters NCAA transfer portal

He has now become fair game to any school that wants him.

Alabama quarterback Jalen Hurts is the latest addition to the NCAA transfer portal as of Wednesday afternoon, according to a report from ESPN’s Alex Scarborough.

Since earning his undergraduate degree in public relations in December of 2018, the junior is able to transfer and compete for a starting job without sitting out. While he can remain in Tuscaloosa if he chooses, entering the transfer portal allows other schools to contact him.

Hurts, who was the Southeastern Conference Offensive Player of the Year as a true freshman in 2016, served as the backup to Tua Tagovailoa this season.
