4. Indiana Hoosiers

Transferring can be a tricky thing for a running back. Maybe Hurd wants to win a title, or maybe he wants to get some more playing time and boost his draft stock if he wants to wait another year and help his stock while staying away from this loaded class of prospect at the position.

If Hurd is interested in doing the latter, then Indiana could be a great landing spot for him. The Hoosiers have slowly been rebuilding into a respectable program, going to a bowl game last season and going 4-4 to start this year.

Indiana has produced some legitimate NFL running backs the past few seasons in Tevin Coleman and Jordan Howard. In fact, Howard was a transfer from UAB before breaking out with the Hoosiers and is now making a name for himself with the Chicago Bears.

Getting to play for a decent program that will get some national stages to play on against teams like Michigan and Ohio State could give Hurd a chance to stay relevant in the college football world while putting up some big numbers.

It’s not the most likely landing spot, but Indiana is one that Hurd should at least think about.
