He is not only a man of his word, but Jalen Hurts also wants to remind people of the college football program that still reigns supreme.
Before parting ways with his trademark dreads and winning a College Football Playoff national championship, the rising junior quarterback agreed to a wager with former NBA legend and current analyst for Inside the NBA on TNT, Charles Barkley. Barkley, an alumnus of Auburn University, played at power forward from 1981-84 and continues to be supporter of the school.
During the week of the Iron Bowl, Hurts agreed to film himself wearing an Auburn jersey on UA’s campus if Alabama lost while Barkley would don a Crimson Tide shirt on TNT should the Tigers fall.
