Jalen Hurts has made it official — he is leaving Alabama and transferring to Oklahoma, not Miami which had been recruiting him in recent days.
Less than a week after creating a national stir when he entered his name into the NCAA’s transfer database, the former Alabama quarterback announced in a piece published by The Players Tribune that while he appreciated his time at Alabama, he would finish his college career at Oklahoma.
Two of his former coaches at Alabama — Maryland’s Mike Locksley, who was Hurts’ offensive coordinator in Tuscaloosa and Miami offensive coordinator Dan Enos, who was his quarterbacks coach at Alabama — had been hoping to add him to their respective rosters.
