Where did Jalen Hurts go to college? Eagles QB has a Alabama vs. Oklahoma

Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts will make the third and final college announcement of his playing career when Philadelphia takes on the Cowboys on “Sunday Night Football.”

The first came in June 2015, when Hurts — then a Channelview (Texas) High School standout — named Alabama as his college destination. The second came three seasons later, when he announced a decision to transfer to Oklahoma for his final college football season.

Now, the third could settle a long debate between fans of the Crimson Tide and Sooners: Will the former second-round pick pick Alabama or Oklahoma during his player introduction on “Sunday Night Football”?

“SNF,” of course, allows starters to introduce themselves, their position and — more often than not — the college where they played prior to the NFL. (Other players have referred to their high school or middle school teams, their birthplace, or nothing at all).

Hurts maintained the starting role throughout the 2017 season, again guiding Alabama to the Playoff, where the Crimson Tide faced off against Georgia in the championship game. After the sophomore struggled against the Bulldogs in the first half, Nick Saban made the decision to bench Hurts in favor of true freshman Tua Tagovailoa.

The Crimson Tide ultimately prevailed after Tagovailoa sparked a second-half comeback, and Hurts never started another game in Tuscaloosa. But his Alabama career wasn’t over: Hurts stayed in Tuscaloosa for the 2018 season, gaining further development as a passer under quarterback coach Dan Enos.

Hurts enjoyed some highlight moments in his final year at Alabama, including a touchdown in his final pass in Bryant-Denny Stadium. The following game, he replaced an injured Tagovailoa in the SEC championship against Georgia — in the same stadium where he was benched a season prior — to lead two scoring drives in a Crimson…
