After much speculation, Tennessee head coach Butch Jones has confirmed that running back Jalen Hurd is transferring.
“Jalen has informed me that he intends to transfer,” Jones said at Monday’s presser. “…I’m thankful for everything that he’s done for our football program.”
Rumors dealing with Hurd’s status began swirling on social media on Sunday evening, but were not confirmed until Monday.
Hurd leaves Tennessee as the program’s sixth-most prolific rusher, finishing his career on Rocky Top with 2,635 yards on the ground. He has yet to make a decision on where he’s transferring.
