Jalen Hurts; From College Stardom to NFL Success

Jalen Hurts, the Philadelphia Eagles’ star quarterback, has a storied college football career that began at the University of Alabama and concluded at the University of Oklahoma. Hurts made an immediate impact at Alabama, starting as a true freshman in 2016 and earning SEC Offensive Player of the Year and SEC Freshman of the Year honors. He led the Crimson Tide to an 11–1 record and the College Football Playoff national championship in 2017, though he was benched in the title game for Tua Tagovailoa.

After completing his degree at Alabama in 2018, Hurts transferred to Oklahoma for the 2019 season, following advice from Alabama coach Nick Saban, who believed Oklahoma’s offensive talent and coach Lincoln Riley could further develop his skills. At Oklahoma, Hurts thrived, leading the Sooners to a Big 12 championship and a College Football Playoff appearance. He finished second in the Heisman Trophy voting and declared for the 2020 NFL Draft after a standout senior season, where he recorded 3,851 passing yards, 32 passing touchdowns, 1,298 rushing yards, and 20 rushing touchdowns.

Hurts was selected by the Philadelphia Eagles with the No. 53 pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, becoming the fifth quarterback taken in that class. His college career laid the foundation for his success in the NFL, where he has since become a key player for the Eagles, leading them to multiple playoff appearances and two Super Bowl appearances.
