The LSU Tigers are at home this weekend, taking on the Arkansas Razorbacks in Death Valley, but they appear to be without one of their backup quarterbacks against the Hogs
According to a report by LSU insider Wilson Alexander, redshirt freshman quarterback Colin Hurley is currently away from the team for “personal reasons” for the second straight week.
An LSU spokesperson relayed the news regarding Hurley per Alexander, and they also said that he did not travel with the team to Tuscaloosa last weekend for the Bayou Bengals’ loss against Alabama.
A Jacksonville, Florida native, Hurley was rated as a 4-star recruit in the 2024 recruiting cycle per 247Sports, and was also ranked as the 22nd overall quarterback in the country.
Hurley was originally a member of the 2025 class, but reclassified to the 2024 cycle and enrolled early at LSU, joining the team in April of last year. He was redshirted after not seeing any action, and entered this season as the third-string quarterback for the Tigers.
He has yet to take a snap this season as well, and is now reportedly away from the team entirely. The report doesn’t mention the exact reasoning for Hurley’s absence, just that he isn’t with the program at the moment.
