Jalen Hurts

As of September 12, 2026, Jalen Hurts is an active quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles and wears No. 1. The Eagles’ current roster lists him at 6 feet 1 inch and 223 pounds, with Oklahoma as his college. Philadelphia’s 2026 initial 53-man roster also confirms his continued place on the team. Hurts was born on August 7, 1998, in Houston, Texas.

Hurts began his college career at Alabama, where he became the first freshman quarterback to start under head coach Nick Saban and earned major conference and freshman honors in 2016. He later transferred to Oklahoma as a graduate student for the 2019 season. With the Sooners, Hurts was a Heisman Trophy runner-up, a first-team All-Big 12 selection and an important dual-threat leader who helped Oklahoma reach the College Football Playoff. His college career included appearances in major championship-level games for both Alabama and Oklahoma.

The Eagles selected Hurts with the 53rd overall pick in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft. His playing style combines a strong running threat, toughness, mobility and improved downfield passing. He can extend plays outside the pocket, attack defenses with designed runs and create opportunities when the original play breaks down. In Philadelphia, he developed into a leading figure of the franchise and was recognized as the MVP of Super Bowl LIX, along with receiving All-Pro and Pro Bowl honors.
