Hurley re-posted the news on X shortly after.

Hurley, a Florence native, played in nine games this past season for the Crimson Tide. He didn’t see any playing time during his first season in 2023. The 247Sports Composite listed Hurley as the No. 50 player overall in the 2023 recruiting class and the No. 5 cornerback as a four-star recruit.

Hurley announced his intentions to enter the transfer portal before Alabama learned it would not make the College Football Playoff. Others have since joined him, including the likes of defensive back DeVonta Smith, running back Justice Haynes and receiver Kendrick Law, among others. Hurley joins Keanu Koht (Vanderbilt) as former Alabama players who have already found new homes.

The transfer portal has been open for about a week and will remain open for about two more weeks.
