TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Averion Hurts waited anxiously, hanging on to every word over the phone. His brother, Jalen Hurts, then just a junior in high school, was in the process of leading Channelview to a comeback victory over rival North Shore, a feat Averion never accomplished. Away at college, Averion was limited to the play-by-play of one of his former teammates for updates.
With Channelview down by six at the North Shore 36-yard line with just 5.6 seconds left on the clock, Averion awaited impatiently for a final update. A couple moments and a deep touchdown pass later, the older brother would need a new phone.
“I went crazy on the phone. They could probably hear me screaming all the way back in Houston,” Averion recalled to BamaInsider.com. “He threw the Hail Mary and I heard, ‘He caught it, he caught it!’ I dropped my phone, cracked it, I was just going crazy.”
