Making it to the Super Bowl LIX definitely isn’t the only success in Jalen Hurts’s life. The athlete started his professional career at the University of Alabama in 2016 and it was there he found his true love that wasn’t necessarily the game, but rather Bryonna “Bry” Burrows.
Hurts and Burrows met in college, most likely through Greek Life mixers as Hurts was a part of Omega Psi Phi fraternity and Burrows was a member of the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority. Hurts played football at the University of Alabama for three seasons before transferring to the University of Oklahoma in 2019. Burrows remained at the University of Alabama where she received her Bachelor’s degree and an MBA from the business school.
Notable for his privateness towards relationships, Hurts has never been one to share what’s going on in his life off-the-field. But with Burrows, it’s clear he’s not keeping their love a secret. Though the road may not always have been stable and smooth for these two, they’ve always found their way back to each other and have now made it to the final stage in their long-lived relationship as fiancées. With the 2025 Super Bowl coming up, Travis and Taylor aren’t the only couple who’ll have all eyes on them.
So, how did Hurts and Burrows go from college sweethearts to fiancées? I’m here to break it down for y’all.

I think that’s what allowed us to get to where we are now.”
