The moment Alabama fans have been waiting for since he put his name into the transfer portal on Jan. 9 has happened: Jalen Hurts has announced he is transferring.

He made his announcement Wednesday afternoon in The Players’ Tribune. Since he graduated in December, Hurts will be illegible to play immediately.

Once he reopened his recruitment, Hurts didn’t waste any time, taking visits to three different schools (Maryland, Oklahoma and Miami) by the end of the week.

The Houston, Texas, native made an impact at Alabama immediately, earning the starting job by the second week of his freshman season. In the 28 games he started, the Crimson Tide went 26-2, leading to two national championship appearances.

In his three years at Alabama, Hurts threw for 5,626 yards and 48 touchdowns while running for 1,976 yards, which is second for a quarterback in Alabama history, and 23 touchdowns, which is a school record by a quarterback. The 7,606 total yards of total offense is third all-time in program history.

As a freshman, Hurts was selected as the SEC Freshman of the Year and was named a Freshman All-American. As a sophomore he was named the Sugar Bowl Offensive MVP

This past season, he showed a big improvement in the passing game throwing for eight touchdowns and 765 yards on just 70 attempts, setting a season high in completion percentage (73 percent).
