Alabama football fans will forever claim Jalen Hurts.

He may have finished his college career in Oklahoma, but he graduated from the University of Alabama and was a starting quarterback for the Crimson Tide for two seasons. In those two years, he set records, won games, demonstrated incredible leadership and showed Tide fans the pleasure of having a double-threat quarterback.

In his third year, he became a very solid passer – despite being a substitute.

He helped Tide win two Southeastern Conference titles, including one in 2018 where he came off the bench for an injured Tua Tagovailoa and guided the team to a 35-28 victory. He was also a member of the 2017 Alabama College Football Playoff National Championship team.

Hurts has done great things for the Philadelphia Eagles and is looking to take the franchise to new heights.

With the CFP title game on Monday night, the native Texan is in Miami (Fla.) To support his Alma mater. Nick Saban has always called Hurts a great competitor, and now one of Crimson Tide’s greatest ambassadors is eager to cheer his former head coach on to a seventh national title.

ESPN will have the call on Alabama vs. Ohio State at 7:00 p.m. CT from HardRock Stadium.
