As if leading his team to the Super Bowl and signing a massive contract extension weren't enough, Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts decided to add to his stellar year by earning a master's degree, Reuters reports.

Hurts, 24, received his master's in human relations from Oklahoma on Friday, as a university vice president, Dr. David Surratt, posted to social media.

Hurts started his college football career at Alabama, where he earned a bachelor's degree in communication and information sciences after only three years. He transferred to Oklahoma in 2019 and began working on his master's degree.

Hurts has said in interviews that he was inspired by his mother, who was a special education teacher around the time of his freshman year of college but she saw colleagues around her being laid off and decided to be proactive.

"She went back to school, and she got her master's to become a counselor," Hurts told Essence in April. "That's a living testimony for me."
