Alabama graduate transfer QB Jalen Hurts is headed to Oklahoma

The Oklahoma Sooners have found their quarterback — two days after Kyler Murray declared for the 2019 NFL Draft, former Alabama Crimson Tide quarterback Jalen Hurts announced his transfer from Tuscaloosa to Norman in a post on The Players’ Tribune.

“I’ve decided to take my talents to the University of Oklahoma, where I will continue my development as both a quarterback and as a student,” Hurts wrote.

“I’m very fortunate to have this opportunity, and I’m excited for the journey ahead.”

Hurts will be eligible immediately to play his final season of college football.
