Jalen Hurts has been through so much since he arrived and departed Tuscaloosa, Alabama, with his trials and tribulations having helped form a self-awareness that’ll carry him to the mountain top in his career.
Hurts is one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet and he’ll jump through hoops to make a young person feel special. Take proud mom Nikki, whose son Alexander is such a huge fan of the Eagles star, that he had Hurts named placed on a custom backpack at the end of July.
When everyone thinks your kid’s name is #JalenHurts bc he loves @JalenHurts and had to have a backpack with his name on it 🤦🏽♀️ #BoyMom pic.twitter.com/xuh1WEcPtY

Hoping to reciprocate the love and the gesture, Hurts got a backpack similar to young Alexander’s and had it custom built with the young man’s name on it as well.
That’s Lit, Alexander !! I had to get me a backpack with YOUR name on it too haha 😬💪🏽! #TWINS @nikkgphd https://t.co/5wIlTX7m2u pic.twitter.com/bZnu4cPfJM
