Jalen Hurts has made his decision, and it’s not Maryland. The former Alabama grad transfer quarterback is heading to Oklahoma, he announced Wednesday in The Players’ Tribune.
The Terps were squarely in the mix for Hurts, who explored graduate transfer options after the Crimson Tide’s season ended in the national title game. He visited Maryland, Oklahoma and Miami last weekend. While Hurts’ relationship with Maryland head coach Mike Locksley made it a sensible fit, the Houston native evidently couldn’t turn down the Sooners.
Hurts became one of the most sought-after free agents in college football history after a roller coaster of a career at Alabama.
