05/11/20 - QB Jalen Hurts, Sr/2020, Oklahoma

Before he was one of the more talked-about draft picks, Jalen Hurts had a fascinating grad-transfer recruitment. More than a year later, Nick Saban leant some insight into the process that landed Hurts in Oklahoma for a crucial senior season. Doing an interview with the website of the Philadelphia Eagles -- who drafted Hurts in the second round of the 2020 NFL draft -- Saban spoke about the three-team pursuit of the Alabama quarterback Saban said the plan was always to pursue a transfer after Hurts' third Alabama season if he was not the starter. Tua Tagovailoa, of course, had secured that job over the previous summer so Hurts was officially on the market after the 2018 season.

"And I remember him coming into me and saying (he) could go to Miami because the quarterback coach had gone to Miami as the offensive coordinator -- the quarterback coach here, Dan Enos," Saban said in the interview posted Sunday morning. "Mike Locksley got the head coaching job at Maryland. 'I could go to Maryland or I could go to Oklahoma.'" Locksley was the former Alabama offensive coordinator who had been on staff for Hurts' three Alabama seasons. Enos was the quarterbacks coach in Hurts' third season before leaving for Miami just days after Alabama's season ended with a national-championship game loss to Clemson. "I said 'Jalen, where do they have the best players?' because he felt more comfortable going where he knew these guys," Saban said. "And he said 'Well, I think they have the best players at Oklahoma.' I said we just played them, and they have some pretty good players on offense too." - Birmingham News
