Aaron Suttles, formerly of the Tuscaloosa News and presently of The Athletic, is reporting that Tide junior quarterback Jalen Hurts is expected to redshirt the 2018 season.
Barring injury to sophomore phenom Tua Tagovailoa, Hurts would sit out the balance of the year, and then transfer.
It’s important to note a few things here, some serious caveats:
- First, none of the other beat guys are reporting or confirming it: Orr, Casagrande, Zenitz, Cecil, Sabin, Jones, McNair, Potter etc. This is not to doubt the juice that Suttles has; he plainly does.
