The biggest news of Jan. 16 as it relates to the Texas football program, Big 12, and likely the college football landscape in general came down with a key quarterback transfer announcement. The former Alabama Crimson Tide star quarterback Jalen Hurts announced that he would be a graduate transfer to become immediately eligible for the 2019 season with the Oklahoma Sooners.
This could be a big reason for all the back and forth between Oklahoma quarterback Austin Kendall and head coach Lincoln Riley of late. Last week, Kendall put his name into the NCAA Transfer Portal and took some visits to see where his next destination could be.
