His coaches love him, his teammates respect him, Alabama fans want the best for him, and children dealing with illness are drawn to his positivity and joy.

Jalen Milroe has been a great ambassador for the University of Alabama football team on and off the field.

He is focused on guiding this team to a College Football Playoff National Championship in the fall, but Children’s Hospital of Alabama carried his heart on Wednesday. Milroe visited several youth, listening to their stories of bravery and encouraged them to keep fighting and being positive. He took photos with the children and their families, showing them he supports their fight to get better. When he was doubted as a first-year starting quarterback for the Crimson Tide in 2023, Milroe used it as fuel to push his team to a Southeastern Conference Championship and a College Football Playoff berth. He wants today’s youth to find the positivity in every area of life. Milroe picked up more supporters at Children’s Hospital as they look forward to watching him.

Kalen DeBoer, Alabama’s head coach, is big on family and so is Milroe.

Tide fans are thankful to have a quarterback that cares about everyone in the community.
