From a poster Vol74 on VN: jalen hurd... Shoulder is injured. Not that bad, but enough to question the stability of the area and if he will continue this year since Jalen likes to hit pretty dang hard. They are going to the doctor tomorrow, and I have been told they plan on giving a full report to everyone.

IMO I think he addresses it now and worries about being 100% for Spring ball at UT.

he has nothin else to prove in high school.....he has a hater target on his back...so not worth it IMO...time to move on..

Hard to tell a kid that he needs to think about his future when they are in high school. I hope he gets healthy before he returns, but I do not think people should tell him to just sit out the whole year because he has a bright future. No, he doesnt have anything to prove, but think of how much he would regret at least not trying to play his senior year of h.s. throughout his life. These are kids, so let them be kids.

I concur....Ooltewah had a Tennessee commit also back in 09' and he played it "safe" especially after a hamstring issue......we all knew what kind of explosive d-end he was.....and fans felt he was sand bagging his way thru the season waiting to enroll in Jan. only to find out that the man who recruited him was being fired.......I personally think he would have did better at LSU IMO.....

Looks like Hurd is indeed injured. How much time will he miss?

Sorry to hear that for him. Wanted to play them with all their weapons and see how we matched up.  Bet he doesn't stay down long, if at all.

From Jalen's mom on TOS.....

 

 

 

"Good morning, everyone.

 

There is a lot of speculation about Jalen's condition, so I wanted to let everyone know what is going on and what we've decided to do about this situation.

 

On his 3rd or 4th carry of the game Sunday, he fell in an awkward position with his arm stretched out over his head. As he hit the ground, another young man fell on top of him while he was in that position. I know that most people didn't even realize he was hurt (heck, I didn't) because he plays with such intensity, but he did hurt his shoulder due to the fall. He has a minor labrum tear in his right shoulder. This is not the same area that was repaired last time; that area is still very much intact.

 

The risk of him playing injured and causing further damage to that shoulder or the risk of him potentially hurting himself somewhere else because he would be playing injured is not something that we feel would be beneficial in any way to Jalen's future. So we have decided to go ahead and get this area repaired and also have this area stabilized to prevent future dislocations. He will have this surgery very soon so that he will have adequate recovery time and so that he will be completely healed when he enrolls at UT in January.

 

This is obviously very disappointing to him, his team, etc, but he has had an extremely successful high school career and his main concern now is to being healthy for his Vols.

 

Thanks to everyone for your concern and support!"

Wishing him a safe and healthy recovery ....

Think it was a very wise move to get it done now and risk more

Now, luckily for BHS they have Carter bit does he have the will and power to carry Beech in his back like JH did to a state title?

I know I peeped at vol board and lots of them have concern bout his shoulder , getting hurt etc

[eers]

I hate to hear this, but will say Carter is a D1 back and is capable of carrying the load. It will hurt Beech for sure, but Carter is the best back in this district.

Wish Mr. Hurd a very speedy recovery and the best of college careers. Was looking forward to seeing him play MJ.

[FactsOnly]

Not to overstate it, but he was the most dominant high school athlete in any sport I've ever seen.  Was really looking forward to what he'd do this year.  Hope he recovers fully.
