We met Jalen Hurts last week. By we, I mean the media and the fans. The presumptive Oklahoma quarterback, recently arrived from Alabama, held a press conference along with the other Sooner QBs, and we got to see what made Hurts so special to Bama fans over the past three years.
Our Jenni Carlson wrote about Hurts’ maturity in the Friday Oklahoman, a column which you can read here. And she certainly was right. Hurts does display an uncommon presence.
And his 375-word opening statement is unique among athletes, as far as my memory goes.
