Former Alabama standout JC Latham donates to hurricane relief states in SEC states

Former Alabama offensive lineman JC Latham is early in his NFL career, as he is in his rookie year with the Tennessee Titans. He was the No. 7 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, and is currently playing as the left tackle position for the Titans.

However, it is what he is doing off the field that has fans praising him.

The past few weeks the country has had to deal with some devastating hurricanes hitting the southern and eastern parts of the country. Most recently, Hurricane Milton hit did extreme damage to Florida where many people are still without power.

Latham is giving back to the communities in Eastern Tennessee and Florida, as he is donating $75,000 to hurricane relief efforts.

Latham grew up in Wisconsin for most of his youth, and then moved to Florida to finish his high school career at IMG Academy.

He was a backup his freshman year at Alabama, but played in all 14 games. He became the starter at the right tackle the next year, and was First-Team All-SEC in 2023. He has started every game for the Tennessee Titans, and is showing the potential that the team thought when they took him so early this year.

Delivering on the field is 1 thing, but being able to deliver for the community at such a young age is a rare thing to see in sports.
