Figuring Out Jalen Hurts’ Background
Alright, so I found myself thinking about Jalen Hurts the other day. You know, the quarterback for the Eagles. Watching him play, you see the talent, but I got curious about his background, specifically his ethnicity. It just popped into my head while I was scrolling through some sports news.

So, what did I do? Well, I went straight to searching online. That’s usually my first step when I want to figure something out quickly. Grabbed my phone, opened up a browser.
I typed in a few different things. Started with ‘Jalen Hurts ethnicity’. Simple enough, right? Saw a bunch of results pop up. Some were news articles, some were like fan pages, others were more like bio pages.
Had to sift through a bit. You know how search results can be sometimes. Some seemed more reliable than others. I clicked on a couple that looked like they might have solid info, like major sports sites or well-known biography resources.
Read through the first few paragraphs on a couple of pages. Looked for mentions of his family or background specifically. Found mentions of his parents, Pamela and Averion Hurts. That seemed like a good sign, getting names involved.
Pretty much all the consistent sources I checked pointed to the same thing. It wasn’t really complicated or hidden or anything like that. Just needed to confirm it across a couple of places.
So, the result of my digging? Jalen Hurts is African American. Both his mom and dad are African American. It seemed pretty clear cut once I looked past the initial wave of search results and checked the details.
It didn’t take long, maybe just a few minutes of focused searching and reading. So that’s that sorted. Just thought I’d share the little process I went through. Sometimes you just get curious and have to look it up yourself.
