Jalen Hurts’ lucrative offseason got even better Friday night as he earned his master’s degree in human relations from the University of Oklahoma.
In a video posted by Dr. David Surratt, Oklahoma’s vice president of student affairs and dean of students, Hurts was seen accepting his degree as onlookers cheered on the Eagles quarterback.
Hurts also received cheers from his agent, Nicole Lynn, who posted a congratulatory message to the Pro Bowl quarterback along with a series of graduation photos.
“Leads his team to a Super Bowl, becomes the highest-paid player in NFL history, while finishing his master’s degree,” she wrote on Instagram.
“I couldn’t be more proud of you, J!” »

Hurts earned an undergraduate degree in communication and information science from the University of Alabama in 2018 in just three years, but ended his college football career in Oklahoma the following year.
There he finished second in the Heisman Trophy and began his master’s degree.
Hurts’ latest graduation came just weeks after signing a mammoth, five-year, $255 million deal with the Eagles – the largest in NFL history.
Of that, $179m is fully guaranteed, although the 24-year-old has made it clear that his work ethic won’t be affected at all.

“It’s not a moment where I can reflect, because the journey is not over,” Hurts said.
“I’ve been on this constant quest of trying to be the best player I can be – with no limits, just trying to be the best version of myself.”
Hurts’ latest achievement off the pitch will be particularly appreciated by his parents, who are both teachers.
The Eagles and their star quarterback will start their 2023 season Sept. 10 at the Patriots in Week 1.
