New Baylor wide receiver Jalen Hurd made a decision that will most likely cost him millions of dollars in the short run.
Hurd, previously a running back for Tennessee, announced his decision to leave the Volunteers’ program on Nov. 7, 2016, after a tumultuous stretch of games in his junior season.
Hurd was projected to be a first-round pick in the 2017 NFL Draft as a running back after a stint in Knoxville, Tennessee that saw him become the storied program’s No. 6 all-time leader in rushing yards. Hurd piled on an average of almost 1,300 yards from scrimmage his first two years at Tennessee with a total of 21 touchdowns.
