When asked about his future plans at the University of Tennessee, the excitement is evident. Only a few short months from being enrolled as a student, Hurd is counting the days and his excitement has only been fanned by the success Tennessee has had on the field of late.
Ive been ecstatic, he said of the Tennessee season. Its been awesome. Coach (Butch) Jones had about a month to recruit his class before he came to UT. Its been amazing what hes done with his recruiting class and with the talent thats coming in, well be in the running next year.
I definitely expect to play a lot, he said. I dont know if Im going to start. I hope that I start but I definitely expect to play a lot because Im going to go in there and Im going to work my butt off. Im going to be doing extra work. Im going to show the coaches what Im about.
