Jalen Hurts’ father making difficult situation more difficult for his son
Bleacher Report’s Matt Hayes wrote an article recently focusing on Alabama quarterback Jalen Hurts and how he plans to transfer if he doesn’t win the starting QB job. Actually, the article was centered more on not giving up in the midst of a “quarterback battle” at Alabama, with quotes from multiple players who had great things to say about him.
Mention of transferring did not come from Jalen Hurts, but from his father and former high school coach, Averion Hurts, who spoke with Hayes.
The intention of the article was most likely not to introduce us to the next edition of an athlete’s bloviating father, although that’s exactly what has happened.
