Although Texas A&M was heavily looking to sign Hurts after the departure of their quarterback, Kyler Murray , the endeavors ultimately failed after Hurts signed to the University of Alabama on June 5, 2015 .

Freshman season

As a freshman in Alabama in 2016, Hurts struggled to open the season as starting quarterback. Blake Barnett started the first game against the USC Trojans , but Hurts had already taken the starting position in the second game, making him the first freshman to quarterback for Alabama in 32 years (Vince Sutton 1984 was the last). Hurts produced a historic freshman season under Head Coach Nick Saban . He threw over 2,780 yards and 23 touchdowns with nine interceptions . He brought 62.8 percent of his passes to the man, and finished the season with a quarterback rating of 139.12. He ran a total of 954 yards and 13 touchdowns, breaking the school record in a single season for rushing yards of a quarterback, beating Steadman Shealy's previous record of 791 yards. He ended the 2016 season with 36 touchdowns, breaking Blake Sims' previous record for touchdowns in a single season for the Crimson Tide with a total of 35, which he set in 2014. Hurts became the first Nick Saban-trained quarterback to score more than 11 touchdowns in a single season.
