Tennessee fans react to report of Jalen Hurd’s intention to transfer

Tennessee running back Jalen Hurd reportedly told teammates during a meeting Sunday that he plans to transfer.

On Monday, former Tennessee wide receiver and radio host Jayson Swain said on his program, The Swain Event Monday, that Hurd reportedly intended to leave the program.

“Unless something crazy flips in the next couple of hours, he is done,” Swain said of Hurd. “That’s what I’m hearing.”

Several other reports have indicated that Hurd told teammates he intended to leave during a team meeting Sunday.

Although Tennessee’s coaching staff has yet to confirm these rumors, its fan base has already reacted on Twitter.

I'm dying at the thought of us running I formation in the bowl game just to trick Hurd into staying…. How sleazy if true

I did a whole Volcast about how Jalen Hurd would be better as a tight end and low and behold, he thought so too.

The best thing Jalen Hurd did for the program this year was running 23 mph on a treadmill

Everyone is so upset about Hurd leaving but dude has been hurt pretty much all year. Y'all act like we haven't won without him.

This Jalen Hurd mess is just beginning if it's true he's transferring. There are things going on behind scenes that are very bad. #Vols

Jalen Hurd wasn't a dog. Move on.

Told everyone weeks ago that Jalen Hurd no longer wanted to be a Vol. His mother argued with me over it yesterday on FB. I'm never wrong!!
