WATCH: J.K. Scott, other Alabama players pray with Donald Trump for him and his staff
Alabama closed its visit to the White House by asking for some help from above.
As the Tide were getting ready to wrap up their visit to celebrate their 2017 College Football Playoff National Championship, Alabama punter J.K. Scott offered up a request. He wanted to pray for President Donald Trump and his staff.
Scott and several Alabama players got the opportunity to pray with the president (via ChristinaWBRC):

Some would say that Alabama had a blessed 2017 after barely making the College Football Playoff and winning the national championship in overtime. That, obviously, was why Alabama was at the White House in the first place.
The Tide might’ve just become the first team to share a post-celebration prayer with the president.
Trump can use all the prayers he can get. Awesome gesture by the players.
Trump praying with the team is about as appropriate as Jesse Jackson being Slick Willie’s spiritual advisor during the Lewinski fiasco. Timing is perfect.
As an 7th generation Missouri person and 60 year MU fan, NO MORE. You probably don’t even know the first thing about Quantrill. If you are an mu fan in 2018 you don’t know the first thing about character either.
So you make a SDS profile to defend Trump the day after his personal lawyer’s offices are raided in response to a porn stars 130k hush money payment and I have a character issue?
As for Quantrill, you’re correct; I never met him, but I’m a fan of his work in Lawrence.
Meant as a stand alone statement LSUSMC, not as a rebuttal.
Great witness guys.
Well done by J.K. Scott and Bama.
Well done!
Can’t hate Bama after this. Trump is likely the most divisive President since Lincoln. In this day of massive butthurt over a few wrong words those young men did the right thing. They prayed for the elected President to make good decisions.
Classy move Bama!!!!!
Amen, I dropped years of being a MU (Mizzou) fan after too many years of no traditions and character at that empty place. I was always an Alabama fan and this proves one more time what is to like and great traditions of the South. Wow, amazing to see.
President Trump was not my first choice, but his principles, commitment and determination have made me believe he is personally responsible for reversing the downward slide of our country, domestically and globally. In Atlanta CFPC, AL-GA, the crowd roared when he stepped on the field. Like the SEC, he is a winner.
Principles? I voted for the guy because he was better than the alternative, but he is self centered, egotistical, immature, and clearly a liar. All that, and still better than the alternative.
My dawgs will win the Natty next year but we got to get through the Tigers first
That’s awesome! Our country and our leaders need prayers without ceasing. Thank God for these young men!
Ewwww Go dawgs!!!!
Dawgs supposed to be at that White house trip but because of the B10 refs…
We don’t need politics on this site.
