KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee running back Jalen Hurd has indicated he plans to transfer, leaving the Volunteers without one of the most prolific runners in school history as they attempt to snap a three-game skid that has dropped them out of the Top 25.Vols coach Butch Jones announced Monday that Hurd informed him earlier in the day of his intentions to transfer.I support him on that, Jones said. Im very, very thankful for everything that hes done for our football program, but its all about our football program and our football team in moving forward from this point forward.Hurd, a junior from Hendersonville, Tennessee, ends his Vols career with 2,638 yards rushing. He was only 440 yards away from Travis Henrys 16-year-old school rushing record.The announcement comes two days after Hurd ran for just 16 yards on eight carries in a stunning 24-21 loss at South Carolina. Tennessee entered that game ranked 18th and was a two-touchdown favorite.Hurd didnt carry the ball in the second half of the South Carolina game. Jones said Monday that an injury prevented Hurd from being available.I value our relationship and have a lot of respect for that young man and wish him nothing but the best, Jones said.Hurd rushed for 899 yards as a freshman and 1,288 yards last season while displaying a bruising style that made the most of his 6-foot-4, 240-pound frame.But he wasnt quite as effective this year. He ran for 451 yards and averaged just 3.7 yards per carry while working behind a line that has been hampered by injuries. Hurd had entered this season averaging 4.7 yards per carry.Hurd sat out a 45-38 double-overtime loss to Texas A&M with an unspecified injury and has rushed for a total of 44 yards on 21 carries in the two games since.I wish him well and hope he finds everything that hes looking for, Jones said.Hurd finished his Tennessee career with 26 total touchdowns (20 rushing, six receiving). He had 67 career catches for 492 yards, including 10 receptions for 81 yards this season.The loss of Hurd limits Tennessees options in its rushing attack as the Vols also are missing Alvin Kamara, who sat out the South Carolina game with an unspecified injury.Jones said Kamara also wont play Saturday against Football Championship Subdivision program Tennessee Tech (3-5) and is questionable to return Nov. 12 against Kentucky. Jones also noted that defensive tackle Shy Tuttle will miss the remainder of the season with an injury that wasnt specified.Kamaras absence likely means sophomore John Kelly will be Tennessees main running back this week. Kelly ran for a team-high 94 yards on 14 carries against South Carolina and has rushed for 209 yards on 33 attempts this season.Obviously he will gain a greater role in our offense, Jones said. Hes an individual whos earned this opportunity. You talk about dynamics of leadership, hes one of the leaders of this football team. His energy. His passion. He was one of the most vocal players we had last night in my individual meetings with some guys. You talk about asserting your will on a football team, hes very, very passionate.Hurds transfer marks a surprising conclusion to the career of a player whose arrival helped signal the resurgence of Tennessees program. He was rated as a five-star prospect by Rivals and 247Sports.His decision to join the Vols spearheaded Jones mission to win back the state in recruiting after top Tennessee prospects had signed elsewhere in previous years. He now becomes the 12th player from Tennessees heralded 2014 recruiting class to leave the school with eligibility remaining. That class had been ranked among the top five in the nation by multiple services.Hurd also is the second former five-star recruit to leave Tennessee during this season. Wide receiver Preston Williams, who had caught only 16 passes in 1 + seasons at Tennessee, was granted his release Oct. 13.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.orgNew York Mets Store .com) - Richie Incognito has reportedly been admitted to a psychiatric care unit in Arizona.

Whisenhunt said he hit it off quickly with Ruston Webster when interviewing for the job Friday night.BEREA, Ohio -- Josh Gordons return to the Cleveland Browns practice field was not exactly stressful.Gordon did not take part in any team drills and participated only in the initial individual work, catching passes without defenders.After practice, coach Hue Jackson said Gordon will not play in the preseason game Thursday night against Atlanta. That didnt stop Gordon from vowing he can be the same guy he was in 2013 when he led the NFL in receiving yards while playing 14 games.Im definitely the same guy, he said Monday. Im confident in my abilities. I know what I can do. Just given the opportunity and the right timing, right position and the relying on the rest of the team as much as they rely on me, its a great boost of motivation, and anything is possible for anybody.But I definitely am aware of what I can do, and I think I can build upon that and do even better.Lofty words from a guy who went through his first practice since Dec. 26, 2014, on Monday. On Dec. 27, Gordon missed the final walk-through before the 2014 season finale and was suspended. A few months later, he was suspended for the entire 2015 season for violating the NFLs substance abuse policy.Thats 600 days without practicing, a long time for anyone. And it has many wondering what kind of player Gordon will be, including his teammates.Ill be tuning in just like you guys will, wide receiver Andrew Hawkins said. Josh is an incredible talent. He has incredible ability. I dont know if Id be able to sit oout two years and come back at a high level.dddddddddddd Im not going to count that out of Josh because Im not the freakish athlete like Josh is.Gordon faces a four-game suspension at the start of the 2016 regular season, but the NFL is allowing him to participate in team activities during the ban.Jackson and Art Briles, Gordons college coach at Baylor, both said Gordon had to lose weight. In practice, he looked a little thick around the middle but did not look to be in bad shape, either. Hes listed at 225 pounds.I kind of set my own goal in my head of what I used to play at, Gordon said. But I feel just as strong, just as fast as I felt before, if not stronger, if not faster. So well see how my production is, and well go from there once they evaluate and get some stuff on film. Ill be able to tell how I feel.Gordons biggest challenge is getting back into the physical elements of the game. The daily grind, the hitting, the competition, the physical challenge. Coaches always say that training is not the same as football training. Gordon has been training, but he has been away from the game for almost 20 months.Which is why Jackson wont force anything. He said the team will continue to work its process. Jackson must balance preparing Gordon and getting him in shape with the realization that Gordon will be suspended the first four games. ' ' '
