After the College Football Playoff, Alabama backup QB Jalen Hurts is going to have a really tough decision on his hands.

If he leaves Tuscaloosa to pursue a chance to start for his senior year, he’ll be an even more sought-after free agent than Kelly Bryant.

And, if he lands in the right spot, ESPNU Radio hosts Jason Horowitz and Andy Staples said Hurts will be one of the three favorites to win the 2019 Heisman Trophy:

“If he transfers, and it’s not a guarantee, as you pointed out, but if he decides to transfer and play somewhere else, Jalen Hurts will be one of the three favorites for the Heisman Trophy next year,” Horowitz says.

“Put Jalen Hurts in the right offense and he could put up some really good numbers,” Staples agrees.

The big question is where he ends up, as it appears Tua Tagovailoa has the starting job for 2019 locked up at Alabama.
