In a football-crazed university such as Alabama, any and all of the players will be the proverbial ‘big men on campus.’

Jalen Hurts in particular is one of the most recognizable individuals in the city of Tuscaloosa. The soon-to-be sophomore QB led the Crimson Tide to an SEC Title, and an appearance in the National Championship Game.

In other words, he’s quite popular with the student body on campus.

Two students were playing catch with a football on campus. . Hurts — who was walking back from the Academic Hall — got hold of the football and told the two individuals to “Go deep.”

One of the individuals — Gene Fulmer — is ironically running to become Alabama’s student body President.

While there’s no word on whether Hurts endorsed the candidate, surely this bit of publicity won’t hurt Fulmer’s cause.
