The Sooners don't rebuild. They reload, with transfer quarterbacks.
Oklahoma's rise to perennial playoff contender under coach Lincoln Riley has been spearheaded by a pair of transformational quarterbacks in Baker Mayfield and Kyler Murray, who over the last two seasons became the first quarterbacks from the same program to win the Heisman in consecutive years.
Oklahoma has added yet another talented transfer in former Alabama starting quarterback Jalen Hurts, who declared on the Players' Tribune on Wednesday he would be joining the Sooners, sending a shockwave through the college football landscape.
As the next quarterbacking weapon in Riley's unstoppable offensive scheme, Hurts has positioned himself to challenge former teammate Tua Tagovailoa, as well as Clemson wunderkind Trevor Lawrence, for next season's Heisman.
