Alabama quarterback Jalen Hurts took a break from his quarterback battle with national championship hero Tua Tagovailoa by attending Friday's game between Calera and Pelham.
It didn't go unnoticed.
Video of Hurts attending Friday's game between Calera and Pelham show him surrounded by well-wishers as he moved through the crowd.
"All the kids were like, 'Jalen, Jalen, Jalen!'" Pelham athletic director Kim Kiel said. "I'm talking kids from elementary up to high school kids. He signed some autographs and took some photos. That's pretty exciting."
