Alabama quarterback Jalen Hurts announced his decision to transfer to Oklahoma on Wednesday in an essay in the Players Tribune.
"Now I'm Bama for LIFE—and that right there will never change! But now it's also time for me to start a new chapter in my story," Hurts wrote. "I've decided to take my talents to the University of Oklahoma, where I will continue my development as both a quarterback and as a student.
"I'm very fortunate to have this opportunity, and I'm excited for the journey ahead."
Hurts earned his degree in December, which will allow him to play immediately next season as a graduate transfer.
