Jalen Hurts pays for funeral of high school football player killed at house party: report
PHILADELPHIA - Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts stepped up to show some heartwarming support to his hometown of Houston.
The star quarterback paid the funeral expenses for a senior football player from his rival high school, according to a report by the NFL Network.
Jarvon Coles' life was cut short when a shooting erupted outside a house party earlier this month in a Houston suburb.
The 18-year-old attended North Shore High School, a rival of Hurts’ alma mater, Channelview High.
Hurts reportedly offered to pay for the promising teen's funeral after reading about the tragedy.
"Heartwarming end to a gut-wrenching story," NFL Insider Ian Rapoport said.
