WATCH: Jalen Hurts squats nearly 600 lbs in new Oklahoma video
Jalen Hurts wowed everyone with his strength when he got to Alabama. Now, he’s doing it at Oklahoma.
Oklahoma released a new workout video Thursday that featured Hurts squatting nearly 600 pounds. (It looks like it’s 585 pounds in the video). Squatting even 500 pounds even for a lineman is throwing around some serious weight. In high school, Hurts reportedly squatted 570 pounds at a powerlifting meet.
Throwing around this kind of weight is a great way to impress your new teammates. Hurts is doing just that.

It’ll be interesting to see how Hurts plays in Lincoln Riley’s offense. No doubt Riley will maximize Hurts’ ability throwing and running.
