Jalen Hurts announced his transfer from Alabama to Oklahoma on Jan. 16. And Josh Maxon had a thought.
Hurts deserved a tribute. Even if he was trading in Crimson Tide for crimson and cream, Hurts was something special at Alabama. It didn’t seem right to let Hurts leave without a salute.
So Maxon, Bama’s director of football communications and Nick Saban’s PR man, scooted over to the Tide’s multimedia people, and within 24 hours came a short video that lauded Alabama’s two-year quarterback.
“For every pass, every run, every game winner. Thank you, Jalen,” read the tweet that carried the video to the masses.
