Hurts announced his intention to transfer from Alabama to Oklahoma on Wednesday in a lengthy Players Tribune note penned to Crimson Tide fans. As a graduate transfer, Hurts will immediately be eligible. He’ll inherit an offense that has plenty of talent at the skill positions (including three incoming five-star wide receivers). He will also have to work behind a retooled offensive line. “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 said in the letter. “I’m very fortunate to have this opportunity, and I’m excited for the journey ahead.” Hurts also introduced himself to Oklahoma. “So to my about-to-be family in Norman, I truly appreciate you for bringing me on board. Y’all don’t know me yet but just, for now, to introduce myself: I’m a motivated coach’s son from the Eastside of Houston, and I love to play ball,” Hurts said.
