Report: Status of former UT RB Jalen Hurd is in limbo
Former Tennessee running back Jalen Hurd had a fascinating career in Knoxville.
Hurd played extensively as a freshman and sophomore — combing for over 2,000 yards on the ground to go along with 17 total touchdowns. As a junior heading into the 2016 season, it was assumed Hurd would content for all-conference — and perhaps even national honors.
However, a once-promising career ended in rather abrupt fashion.
Hurd struggled as a junior, and ultimately left the team midway through the season rather mysteriously. Since that point, little information has come out in regards to his future.

A recent report by radio host Jimmy Hyams indicated that Hurd is still in limbo currently:
Former UT running back Jalen Hurd has not asked UT for permission to talk to any schools nor have any schools called UT about Hurd.

Hurd could opt to transfer to another school — assuming he’d be okay with sitting out a year. He theoretically could also enter the 2017 NFL Draft.
Smart money says he will enter the draft.
Spoiled kid with poor advice from those who “love” him led to a hasty decision that was very dumb.
Agreed. For his sake, I hope he doesn’t end up likes Tyler Bray — undrafted and unable to come back to UT. It’s a sad situation for him, because had he done things the right way, he had a promising NFL career ahead of him.
Very bad decision. Now he has to live with it.
You’re absolutely right,the ones who claimed they loved him,was the ones who has him all screwed up. To bad,so sad for him.He had a bright future ahead of him.And now the NFL probably won’t even look at him..
Hurd, is that the kid that goes down easy at the first hint of contact? The QUITTER….
Well i know what you mean kinda, but i blame the o’line there too, right? anyhow, I wish Mr Hurd well. If I had a B( )tch as a coach(insert any vowel) Id might leave too…just sayin, go vols! Tee Martin, please hire Peyton Manning as your offensive coordinator for us in 2018
Peyton is not going to be your OC.
The grass isn’t always greener on the other side. GBO!!
