[Jalen] Hurts, who began his college career at Alabama before transferring to Oklahoma, quoted Scripture in a postgame news conference.

“I went through a lot of stuff in college and it kind of stuck with me – John 13:7. ‘You may not know now, but later you will understand.'”

Hurts called it “my favorite verse.” …

He often discusses his Christian faith on social media. In September, he posted a photo of himself on Instagram in an Eagles uniform, kneeling in prayer. Hurts wrote, “He Who Kneels Before God, Can Stand Before Any Man.”
