I have the opinion that Hurd will never amount to anything at UT. Same as the rest of the freshman. That way if they suck, it was expected.
But, if they amount to even 1/2 their potential, it will be EPIC

USC Athletics apologizes for an inappropriate comment overheard on a video created on National Signing Day. The video has been deleted.
As for five-star freshman Jalen Hurd, two sources in the past week have told us hes already the quickest tailback on the roster despite his 6-foot-3, 230-pound frame, and that he also has the quickest feet. Not surprisingly, pad leverage is something Hurds going to have to improve at this level, but once that happens he could have a big, immediate impact. Hes clearly separating himself from the pack from an athleticism standpoint.-247 Sports
TIFWIW but I heard that Tee turned down the UT job, because his wife wanted to stay in LA as she felt it was a better platform to relaunch her career.If Jalen blows up at UT and ever mentions this as motivation, it could go down in tennessee vols folklore (sp?). That combined with Tee turning down a job to stay with Kiffin could in effect black list him completely in the eyes of most fans which is unfortunate.

I hope Hurd turns out to be the best RB ever. However, I hold the opinion that until he does something, I refuse to anoint him as the greatest. Some of our fans toss so much praise on these kids, and then when they don't meet those expectations, those same people bash those kids as failures and busts.
Hurd has a lot of area's of concern, he has shoulder issues, he runs upright, and he has been injury prone. However, he also has the "ability" to be a complete game changer.
So, I hold to my belief that he will struggle, and then if he does, it's expected. If he amounts to even 1/2 of his potential, he will be an All-American. If he can stay healthy, and lower his pad level, he could be one of the best players in our history.
But, he has to earn those accolades.
