Hurts Returns To Hoover To Host Youth Camp

Former Crimson Tide quarterback Jalen Hurts returned to Alabama Saturday to host his football youth camp. The camp was held at Hoover Metropolitan Complex with an early morning session and a second session later that same evening.

There were roughly 250 spots for kids ranging from 6-16 years old. The camp was designed for everyone to get one-on-one coaching from Hurts. The campers also ran through drills and received t-shirts. With his passion for community outreach, Hurts also focused on teaching leadership and what it means to be a role model to others. After the camp, each child was given the opportunity to get an individual picture with Hurts.

Afterwards, the current Philadelphia Eagles quarterback got time to work with his new teammate and former Tide wide receiver DeVonta Smith.
