2. Michigan Wolverines

Come on, how can anyone not want to play for Jim Harbaugh? The Michigan Wolverines head coach has been a great recruiter for the Wolverines so far, and he could be able to convince Hurd to come to Michigan if both sides are interested.

The Wolverines are going to need to find a replacement for senior running back De’Veon Smith after this season. Freshman Chris Evans has looked promising this season 424 yards on just 53 carries, but coming in at just 200 pounds, Evans isn’t the kind of bruiser at the position that Hurd is.

Hurd could come in and give the Wolverines a dangerous one-two punch at running back for 2017. He’d have to be ok with splitting carries, but that shouldn’t be too big of a problem since he did that with Alvin Kamara this season (unless of course that’s the reason he transferred).

Michigan previously made Hurd an offer coming out of high school, so maybe the two sides would be interested in making Hurd to the Wolverines a reality.
