Though Jalen Hurts lost his starting job to Tua Tagovailoa in 2018, he was beloved by both fans and players throughout the season.
Therefore, as he departs Tuscaloosa for Norman to play for the Oklahoma Sooners, he’s getting a lot of love, including from his former teammates and other Alabama notables.
As you can see below, players from Alabama’s 2018 squad and teams of years past took to Twitter to wish Hurts the best in the new chapter of his career:

Excellent decision by this young man. @OU_Football and @LincolnRiley have done an amazing job with QBs (especially transfer QBs!) over the last few years. Looking forward to seeing Jalen in Norman! https://t.co/mS6LuhDPlz

Hurts had his storybook moment at Alabama, entering the game for an injured Tagovailoa during the SEC Championship Game and leading a massive comeback.
His former teammates will be watching him and rooting for him next fall.
