An insurance policy? Alabama reportedly adds grad transfer QB Gardner Minshew

Alabama has added experience at quarterback with the news that Gardner Minshew will be a grad transfer for the Tide this season.

This is a nice addition for Alabama. Minshew who aspires to be a coach, has a lot of playing FBS playing experience & will provide some insurance if one of the Bama QBs transfers out and the depth chart thins out. https://t.co/FdBGeKsjjK

Minshew, who is from Brandon, Miss., threw for 2,140 yards and 16 TDs for East Carolina last season.

Ever since Tua Tagovailoa’s star-making turn off the bench in the Tide’s national-title win over Georgia, speculation has been rampant that Jalen Hurts – who is 26-2 in two seasons as the starter for Alabama – will transfer.
