Jalen Hurts won’t wear split Oklahoma-Alabama helmet in game

A helmet has not gotten this much attention since Antonio Brown this past NFL preseason.

Former Oklahoma and Alabama quarterback, Jalen Hurts will not wear the split helmet given to him by Ridell and the Special Spectators foundation at the Reese’s Senior Bowl.

“He’s not going to wear it,” Blake Rockwell, director of Special Spectators, told me when he joined “The Opening Kickoff” on WNSP-FM 105.5. “I don’t know how that got out there, but he’s not going to wear it.”

The helmet was made to commemorate Hurts’ success at both schools and features both shades of crimson. The Alabama side features the number two, Hurts’ number while he was the quarterback for the Crimson Tide.

Another helmet, identical to the one Hurts received will be auctioned off with the proceeds going towards Special Spectators.

Hurts has been seen at practice wearing his most recent Oklahoma helmet during Reese’s Senior Bowl practices and is expected to represent the Sooners on Saturday.

The Senior Bowl can be seen on NFL Network on Saturday at 1:30 p.m. CT.
