Jalen Hurts' Father Suggests His Son Might Transfer If He Doesn't Win Starting Job

by Staff Reporter

April 19, 201825 Comments

Averion Hurts, the father of Alabama quarterback Jalen Hurts recently spoke with Bleacher Report and suggested that his son could transfer if he doesn't beat out Tua Tagovailoa for the starting job. Per CBS Sports:

quote:
"Coach Saban's job is to do what's best for his team. I have no problem with that," Averion Hurts said. "My job is to do what's best for Jalen -- and make no mistake, Jalen is a quarterback, and he wants to play quarterback. He loves Alabama, loves Coach Saban and everything about that place. But he wants to play, and he will play."

The elder Hurts seems to think highly of his son's impact in the transfer market.

"Well, he'd be the biggest free agent in college football history," he said, according to the report.

Overconfident considering his sons lack of arm

He isn't overconfident, he's being real! Hurts phone would ring off the hook if he left Bama.

boulwarejockstrap•86 months

That means I want my son to get to NFL so I can get PAID

airfernando•86 months

if he wants to get paid in the NFL, he ought to switch positions. It'd probably best for Jalen and bama if he transfers.

"Well, he'd be the biggest free agent in college football history," he said, according to the report. Lol Cam Newton says hello

atltiger6487•86 months

transferring would be the right move. Kids want to play - not sit the bench.

Placebeaux•86 months

He was a state champ power lifter. He should switch to RB or LB if he wants to make the pros.

JackieTreehorn•86 months

He would prob be dangerous in Gus' offense though he doesn't have the arm that Nick Marshall had

dommanation•86 months

I hate Alabama. It would be interesting if he transferred to Lane Kiffin's team...

ljhog•86 months

"Well, he'd be the biggest free agent in college football history," Y'all think he'll get more to sign with another school than he got from Alabama?

Outboard•86 months

Wonder how well Hurts will do behind an offensive line that actually gets called for holding?

Tommy Patel•86 months

LOL!!! This is so true Outboard10 Wonder how well Hurts will do behind an offensive line that actually gets called for holding

tigerpawl•86 months

What did they put in the water?

ShortyRob•86 months

Honestly, what's best for Hurts is to find a new position. He's going nowhere as a QB

the LSUSaint•85 months

Meh....hes better than some that have started, like tyrod Taylor etc

Lordofwrath88•86 months

Clickbait

Vernonbrew22•85 months

We couldn’t be this lucky. Since my hope of a Tornado taking out Nick seems unlikely, a QB depletion problem would suffice.

SamuelClemens•85 months

"he'd be the biggest free agent in college football history". I thought that was Cam

LSUvet72•85 months

Glad to see Pachyderms having a QB controversy

JackieTreehorn•85 months

He did not help himself at A-Day...he's done

ColoBama•85 months

If Jalen really wants to play in the NFL, he needs to switch to another position. Then he'd have a very good chance of playing on Sundays. At QB, that shite aint happening.

Blind Zebras•85 months

I was onboard until the biggest free agent crap. That's complete and utter bullshite. Jalen is good but come on bro. You can't be this dumb, even if it's your own child.

bountyhunter•85 months

He needs to get his father as far away from his football career as possible.
