LOOK: Fans around the country now begging Jalen Hurts to transfer to their school
Jalen Hurts may not have won the starting QB job at Alabama, but fans of other schools are making it known they would welcome the Crimson Tide QB with open arms.
Nick Saban never announced who the starter would be before game time. Instead, everyone found out that Tua Tagovailoa had won the job when he trotted out for the opening snap of the game against Louisville.
It also did not take long for Tagovailoa to show why he won the starting job. He led the Tide to a touchdown on the opening drive, capped by some nifty footwork and a touchdown throw by the sophomore QB. He also added a rushing touchdown later in the first quarter.
Tagovailoa’s early work has been impressive, and the chances of Hurts taking significant snaps with the Tide continue to get slimmer. If Hurts’ time is done with the Crimson Tide, fans of other college football teams want the QB to know they would be happy to have him:

Hurts could certainly just ride out his time with the Tide, but the new redshirt rule in the NCAA means Hurts could play in up to four games this season and keep his year of eligibility.
Gamecocks? What? I… dont think Bentley will be joining the draft so… not unless he wants to still be a backup.
Long time Carolina fan and student here, we haven’t had a worthwhile quarterback since Shaw. Bently is mediocre and only starting because daddy is a coach. Hurts would start immediately and be a massive improvement
So you imply there’s a better qb on the bench?
You are out of your mind!!!!! Massive improvement??? Bentley is just about the only thing on your offense that made uga sweat just a little!!!!! So if Hurts comes to USCjr then send Bentley anywhere but the SEC!!!! We handled Jalen Hurts last year. He didn’t score a point on us and never got close either!!!! Tua did not beat us either. IT WAS ALL REFS!!! But at least he did score a little. Trust me, Bentley is better than Hurts all the way around unless your just looking for a pure running back at QB!!!
UGA SEC CHAMPIONS
King Negan
I’m thinking that may be Jacksonville State Gamecocks?
I think there is a real possibility he could go to Auburn or Tennessee next year.
I think Auburn needs to learn how to develop a QB and quit cherry picking. You’ve already had transfer QB’s in Newton, Marshall and Stidham. You have a 5* in Bo Nix next season. Have you coaches develop him. Quit relying on transfers. What are your coaches being paid for?
Keep dreaming. I have no doubt he will transfer next year because he does graduate in Dec but it won’t be to Auburn. Don’t you already have a quarterback? He will go somewhere like Texas.
