Smart move. Smarter than Jalen Hurts.
Kelly Bryant transferring
Bryant graduated last spring; he is a grad student now at Clemson; so, FBS schools are in the mix. Clemson will now be in major trouble if Lawrence gets hurt. They have 3 other QBs on the roster; all are true or redshirt freshman; two are walk-ons; the one that isn't a walk-on, Chase Brice (offered by WF) has no game experience.

I read it as dabo was more upfront with bryant than saban is with hurts.Three of their other scholly QB's (Johnson, Cooper & Israel) transferred out after spring practice. Dildo sure hasn't managed this as well as Saban.

Jalen hurts has one bad half and is benched. And saban lashes out at the media for asking about the qb controversy.. which he created.
One bad half in which the replacement went on to win the national championship.
Tua is more talented. He deserves to start.I just think saban is a prick for not levelling with hurts.
Hurts has 2 years left only if he doesnt red shirt. Can he sit on the sidelines,not play, and get red shirted after the year is over?Also, Hurts has two years left of eligibility left, but Bryant has only one. Everyone seems pretty certain that, unless something major changes, that Hurts will transfer after the season, and play his final year somewhere else. Bryant didn't have that option.
Pretty amazing that Hurts and Bryant faced off against each other in the National Semifinal (which many thought was the de facto NC Game - just to avoid hurting Biff's feelings - UGA proved to be worthy as the 2nd best team last year) as a sophomore and junior after leading their teams to a combined record of 22-2 last year, and now neither one is starting and it's likely both will transfer.

If Hurts plays this week (and Bama plays some ridiculously bad opponent), Hurts will have played his 5th game, and will have only one year of eligibility left. If Hurts plays this week (and it appears he will), because Hurts never redshirted, he can either:
- Sit out next year as a transfer, and play his final year in 2020, or
- Graduate early, and play his final year in 2019.
Unlike Hurts, Bryant had played 3 previous years at Clemson and had played in 4 games this year, so, if he didn't transfer this week, he would have lost his option to play a full-season as a starter somewhere else.
