EXCLUSIVE: Jalen Hurts Secretly Pays Off Student Debt for Entire University of Alabama Class of 2025
In a quiet act of extraordinary generosity, Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has secretly paid off the student loan debt for the entire graduating Class of 2025 at the University of Alabama—his alma mater. The selfless move, kept out of the public eye until now, is being hailed as a life-changing gift for hundreds of students facing the weight of financial pressure as they prepare to step into adulthood.
According to sources close to the university’s financial aid office, the full cost of tuition and loan debt for every eligible graduate was quietly settled under an anonymous donation earlier this summer. It wasn’t until internal documents revealed the donor’s identity that officials confirmed it was Jalen Hurts—a former Alabama standout who has consistently used his platform to uplift and empower others.
What makes this gesture even more striking is that Hurts refused interviews, media coverage, or publicity, choosing instead to let the act speak for itself.
“He didn’t want the spotlight,” said one university official who requested anonymity. “He just wanted to make sure that these young people had a real chance at a future without the chains of student debt. That’s who Jalen is.”
The gift is estimated to have cleared more than $10 million in student loans, covering graduates from various departments, backgrounds, and financial situations. Students reportedly received email confirmations that their loan balances had been paid in full, followed by hand-signed letters of encouragement—many of which were simply signed, “A fellow Bama brother.”
Though Hurts now plays professionally in the NFL and is widely regarded as one of the league’s rising stars, those close to him say he’s never forgotten his roots—or the challenges many of his classmates faced while attending college.
“This is bigger than football,” said a friend of Hurts. “It’s about lifting others up. He’s always said if he made it, he’d reach back and help pull others forward.”
While Hurts has yet to make a public statement on the donation, the students he helped are already speaking volumes—sharing emotional reactions, heartfelt gratitude, and hopes that this incredible act of kindness inspires others to do the same.
In a world hungry for headlines, Jalen Hurts chose silence and impact. And for the Class of 2025, he didn’t just pay off loans—he paid forward hope.
