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.orgTracy McGrady Jersey .

Catcher J.P. Arencibia, who was penciled in to get his first start of the series and hit ninth, was scratched after suffering a knee injury while warming up in the bullpen. Its a right knee problem Arencibia says has been lingering for some time. "I mean, its stuff that I deal with the whole year," said Arencibia. "It was there a little bit more than usual. Im wanting to play through everything possible. It just didnt feel like I could really go." Arencibia suffered a flare up during a pre-game bullpen warmup session, conducting a drill in which he practices blocking pitches. He underwent an MRI and the Blue Jays expect to have the results on Thursday. Happ Returns J.A. Happ, pitching in his first major league game in exactly three months, couldnt hold an early 7-2 lead and the Blue Jays lost 9-7, failing to sweep the Mariners.dddddddddddd "Obviously not how I wanted it to go," said Happ. "We should have won that game. We scored seven runs early and I wasnt able to keep us holding on to that. Not the way I would have written it up and not what I was hoping for but looking forward to the next one already." Happ didnt get a decision. In four-plus innings, he allowed seven runs (six earned,) on seven hits and three walks. Happ struck out two Mariners. It was May 7 in Tampa Bay when Happ was struck in the head by a line drive off the bat of the Rays Desmond Jennings. Happ suffered a skull fracture and lacerated ear. His most significant injuries, however, were strains to the PCL and MCL in his right knee, which occurred as he fell to the ground. In eight starts this season, Happ is 2-2 with a 5.84 ERA. Happs next scheduled start is Tuesday when the Blue Jays open a three-game series with the Red Sox at Rogers Centre. ' ' '
