Jalen Hurts (from a buddy)

Wanted to share this from a friend connected with Bama:

When all is said and done, I will not be able to say enough good things about Jalen Hurts. He has exhibited character and a team-first attitude that I truly can say I have never witnessed.

Last year after the NC game the transfer hype train (heavily driven by Jalen's dad) was running wide open. As the season began, the articles popped up every week. Game 1 arrived and Jalen contributed when his number was called. He did the same for the first 4 games - the limit allowed for a redshirt to be kept in tact.

Then came game 5 - and Jalen AGAIN contributed when his number was called. He has done this consistently - contributed when his number was called. He just keeps putting TEAM first.

And, getting historical, I will NEVER forget being in FL when Jalen made the amazing touchdown run to give us the lead for the NC in the rematch with Clemson. He did what he did best in improvising and getting the job done. Did our O struggle in that game? Sure. Did we have too many 3 and outs? Yep. But, our D never bowed its back when our O struggled. And, when Jalen secured the lead SO VERY LATE in the game, our D just did not have enough in the tank to stop DWatson and the Clemson O. Maybe CU was the better team that day. Maybe not. But, Jalen put us in position LATE and it slipped away.

Now, as we approach the SECCG - and hopefully a run into our 5th playoff - the transfer chatter is ramping up. But, when asked about, Jalen focuses on this team.

In the words of FunnyMaine - go Jalen. In the thoughts and actions and attitude of Jalen - ROLL TIDE!

Hats off to Jalen!
