***** move to transfer out now. He was still the #2 QB, and if Hurts gets hurt, he's walking away from his teammates when they might need him. I wouldn't want this guy on my team. With character like that, I can see why he lost his job.

He also flaunted to everyone at the various position camps he attended in HS that he committed to Bama. He would actually crash other guys interviews by whispering "Roll Tide" in their ears. He seems like a real douchebag

Several of the spots they are pointing to are out that way.

Cal, ucla, Oregon, Notre dame, and lsu.

There are only 3 positions in football in which I cannot blame the player for transferring out on; kicker, punter, and QB. You can only play 1 of those and if a younger guy is getting the reps, why should you spend your career backing him up? You only get 4 or 5 years to play... Gotta make the most of them. I know I would never stay around and wait on someone to get hurt. Particularly if I was a 5 star recruit with offers from everywhere. I'd go to where I could play.

I wouldn't call this a transfer. It's not the off season, and there's nowhere he can play this weekend. He flat out quit.

Don't know how much truth there is to it, but supposedly the timing of his "transfer" is related to some potential enrollment deadline date of October 1, 2017, at one of his target schools out west (Oregon, maybe). Supposedly, if he pulls out of T-town by September 30, 2016, he will be eligible to play on October 1, 2017, only missing 4 games.

Oh, and this is his girlfriend and she's a pro surfer based out west. So, yeah, he wants to get back out west.

I've got no problem with any player at any position transferring AFTER THE SEASON. But when you're the backup QB and you quit on the team in September, you're a selfish ******* who can't handle any adversity and don't give a **** about your teammates.
