I disagree, I think he should transfer to a top school that is fairly decent in football (e.g Washington) and his NFL status would be upgraded if he could get that team into the CFP.
Furthermore Tua’s brother, a top HS QB is part of the 2019 team along with another QB that is a Bear Bryant descendant.
He can be a legend, for the rest of his life at Bama. For the rest of his life. Why transfer...? Stay where he’s at, finish up. Makes no sense. He’ll be even better next year.
It’s for the team, not the individual.
At this point, Hurts doesn’t owe Bama anything. His record as the starter was 26-2, but Saban decided to go with Tua, and the results speak for themselves. Tua has been outstanding, but it was Hurts who helped the Tide preserve their SEC title hopes and propelled them into yet another national championship game.
Hurts earned his bachelor’s at Alabama last month, and he meets all the requirements for a graduate transfer. There are plenty of Power 5 schools that would welcome him with open arms. A year of being THE QB would only enhance his stock in the 2020 NFL draft. While Hurts conducted himself with great character and dignity after being replaced as the starter, I don’t see him in Tuscaloosa next season.
