Before the 2018 season, quarterback Jalen Hurts’ father said “he’d be the biggest free agent in college football history” if he didn’t win back the starting job at Alabama. A full season behind Tua Tagovailoa later, and Hurts has put his name in the NCAA’s transfer portal.
What started out as a pipe dream has become plausible enough that the Terps are tied for the second-highest odds to land the graduate transfer, according to MyBookie. Maryland and Auburn are tied with 5-1 odds as the landing spot for Hurts, trailing only TCU’s 4-1 odds.
