Jalen Hurts' Girlfriend: 5 Facts About Bryonna Burrows

Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles have earned their way into Super Bowl LVII where they will meet Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. All eyes will be on the young quarterbacks as they play their hearts out for the coveted Lombardi Trophy on February 12. Hurts has been with the Eagles since 2020 when he was selected 53rd overall in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft by the organization (via NJ.com). Hurts played football for Alabama and was a key player on the Crimson Tide football team for three years before transferring to Oklahoma for his senior year, according to ESPN.

While Hurts focused on both athletics and academics, he also spent time socializing. In fact, it's believed that Hurts and his girlfriend Bryonna Burrows met at the University of Alabama, where they both studied for their undergraduate degrees, as evidenced by Burrows' LinkedIn account. Burrows is a young professional and manages to keep her personal life completely out of the public eye. She doesn't seem to have any publicly accessible social media accounts and doesn't appear on her boyfriend's Instagram account, either. However, she has been a huge supporter of her main man and was seen with him on the field after the Eagles won the NFC Championship game, according to the New York Post. Burrows is expected to attend the Super Bowl and there will undoubtedly be plenty of questions about her. So, let's dig in.

Bryonna Burrows has held a number of positions over the years, according to her LinkedIn profile. While she was still in school, she took on a job in sales and marketing for E. & J. Gallo Winery, a marketing company for the wine and spirits industry. She simultaneously worked as a graduate assistant at the University of Alabama, first for The Culverhouse Career Center before switching to The Black Faculty and Staff Association in August 2018, the same year she left E. & J. Gallo Winery.

In June 2019, Burrows applied for an opportunity with IBM. She started off as a senior solutions sales specialist, based in Dallas, Texas. In the time since, Burrows has climbed the corporate ladder within the company. She served as a financial sales executive starting in December 2019 before being promoted to software financing leader in January 2021. A year later, Burrows became an AI Partner with the company and has worked full-time with them ever since. "Nothing excites me more than a challenge to grow and improve. I believe in bringing curiosity, drive, and passion into everything I do," her LinkedIn bio reads, in part. 

Bryonna Burrows is dedicated to helping others, especially people who are hoping to follow the same career path that she took. According to People magazine, she was a coach in IBM's 8-week Accelerate program in 2022 and also served as a speaker at a Diversity & Inclusion panel, which she wrote about on LinkedIn. "I'm fortunate my company allows us the space to converse, listen, and learn from one another. D&I is deeper than gender, skin color, or nationality. It's about lived experiences that define who we are and better our community and workplace," she shared.

Burrows' big heart and strong work ethic have touched the lives of many people. In one of the recommendations left for her on LinkedIn, James McCool, a finance manager at H&M, praised Hurts' girlfriend for the work she did when she served as Vice President for the University of Alabama's MBA Association. "She created the 'Manderson Social.' A now annual event that allows alumni to connect with students over food and drinks. Her impact at The University of Alabama's MBA Program will benefit students and alumina for years to come," McCool wrote, showcasing how Burrows' contributions continue to help other people.
