Here’s a breakdown of Oklahoma’s quarterback room entering the 2019 season:
Key returnees: Redshirt freshman Tanner Mordecai
Key losses: Kyler Murray (NFL Draft/MLB career); Austin Kendall (transferred to West Virginia)
Newcomers: Senior Jalen Hurts (transferred from Alabama); true freshman Spencer Rattler (Phoenix, Ariz.)
Biggest unanswered question: Is Jalen Hurts Oklahoma’s next Heisman Trophy candidate?
Barring injury or an unexpected turn of events, Alabama grad transfer Jalen Hurts will be under center for the Sooners this fall. Hurts has the tall task of following the last two Heisman Trophy winners, but he does come to Norman with plenty of experience and a reputation for winning.
