UM’s pursuit of Alabama grad transfer quarterback Jalen Hurts began in earnest this week, and Hurts appears intrigued.
As of Thursday morning, the three people he most recently had followed on Twitter were all Hurricanes: coach Manny Diaz, tight end Brevin Jordan and running back DeeJay Dallas. And Diaz followed Hurts on Twitter, for what it’s worth.
Hurts – who lost his starting job to Tua Tagovailoa this past season — has entered his name in the grad transfer portal but hasn’t announced if he’s definitely transferring. He will have plenty of options, but among the top contenders for him, Miami might represent the easiest path to a starting job.
