What if Tennessee football entered the biggest free agent race in college history? That’s how Jalen Hurts’s father framed this scenario, and he’s not entirely wrong. Hurts is in the quarterback battle of his life under Nick Saban with Tua Tagovailoa.
Meanwhile, his father Averion Hurts told Bleacher Report that the quarterback would transfer if he didn’t win the starting job. After being benched in the national championship and watching Tagovailoa lead the comeback to beat the Georgia Bulldogs, that’s a strong possibility.
So then comes the next question on Rocky Top. Would Jeremy Pruitt and Tyson Helton go after Hurts?
