I think Jalen Hurts is fitting in quite well at Oklahoma.

Former Alabama Crimson Tide starting QB Jalen Hurts, who lost his job to Tua, is a man who is on a mission to show his former program and others that he is a starter and primed to take his talents to the next level.

The new Sooners quarterback energized his new teammates Thursday after squatting 600 pounds in the weight room.

Hurts was also seen on Oklahoma strength and conditioning coach Bennie Wylie’s Instagram supporting his teammates.

This video of Jalen Hurts from Bennie Wylie’s Instagram has been circulating and is impressive, but watch the next video. Hurts is right in front of Kenneth Murray, standing on the bench, encouraging him. I think it’s safe to say he’s fitting in. pic.twitter.com/8v9GSU4CpG
