In an inspiring act of generosity and community leadership, Alabama Crimson Tide legends Jalen Hurts and Jalen Milroe—alongside several of Milroe’s current teammates—have come together to invest a staggering $5.8 million into a meaningful project aimed at making a difference. The group is channeling their resources to renovate and transform a once-abandoned house in Tuscaloosa into a fully operational shelter designed to support homeless senior citizens.
The initiative began as a simple conversation about giving back to the community that shaped them. After learning about the growing number of elderly individuals in Tuscaloosa without safe and stable housing, the group felt a strong call to action. What started as an idea quickly evolved into a multi-million-dollar commitment.
The shelter will not only provide a warm place to sleep, but also access to food, basic medical care, emotional support, and social services. The goal, the players said, is to give seniors a renewed sense of dignity and security—many of whom have been overlooked or forgotten by society.
Jalen Hurts, now an NFL star, expressed how proud he is to remain connected to Alabama and contribute to something with lasting impact. Milroe echoed that sentiment, saying they want to use their platforms for more than just sports—to be agents of change where it’s most needed.
The project is already being hailed as one of the most heartfelt charitable efforts in recent college football history, and it’s clear that Hurts, Milroe, and their teammates are creating a legacy off the field that’s every bit as powerful as their accomplishments on it.
