NORMAN — Jalen Hurts, as he is with most questions this season, was short and to the point when talking about his recruiting relationship with Texas coming out of high school.
“Charlie Strong liked me a lot,” Hurts said. “Ended up not going there.”
But Hurts’ feelings were bit deeper than that, according to Hurts’ father.
In a 2017 interview with 247sports.com, Averion Hurts said his son very much wanted an offer from the Longhorns, saying “Texas was the one.”
“They were kind of like that first girlfriend that broke your heart,” Averion Hurts told the site.
