One of the most universally liked college football players will be making another grand gesture when he takes the field for the 2020 Reese’s Senior Bowl this Saturday.
Former Alabama and Oklahoma quarterback Jalen Hurts will be playing the game with a helmet with one side representing the Crimson Tide and the other the Sooners.

Aforementioned Hurts helmet … I'm told the crimsons on each half are a shade different — OU's crimson is slightly brighter. pic.twitter.com/0QLYl7TDPa

The Heisman Trophy finalist will also be signing another helmet that will be signed by Hurts and auctioned off with the profits going to Special Spectators, an organization that helps create VIP, all-access game-day experiences for seriously ill children and their families at sporting events across the United States.
In his four years as a collegiate athlete Hurts has not only been a tremendous player but has also shown tremendous character and is a fantastic role model for young athletes.
After leading Alabama to two National Championships, he would go on to lead Oklahoma to the playoff as well making him the first player in the history of the sport to lead two different schools to the College Football Playoff.
Hurts will participate in the Reese’s Senior Bowl on Saturday, Jan. 25 in Mobile, AL.
