This season, the military boy has seen all the ups and downs as Week 13 proved to be a reality check for Jalen Milroe and Alabama. Tide’s offense collapsed, and how? They did not even score a single touchdown and lost to Oklahoma 24-3. Fans were disappointed, and with poor performance comes the criticism. However, he did not let the noise affect him much and bounced back strongly. Now, after leading the team to an impressive 28-14 victory against rivals Auburn, what is he aiming at?
The military boy is now collaborating with artist Keegan Hall for a better cause. Yes! On November 3, Hall shared a video on his Instagram with Milroe and shed light on their initiative: “This man right here needs no introduction. Superstar quarterback Jalen Millrose. We are teaming up for a huge, huge charity project that’s going to help a lot of people.”

Adding to it, Milroe explained why they are doing it: “We have a great cause here. Two foundations. I’m super excited for. Number one winner, Wounded Warriors. Number two: Children.” He further added why this project is important for him and stated, “I think that’s something that’s really important to me. Just. Pouring at somebody else beside ourselves.”
So, the deal is that Hall will draw Milroe’s portrait and print 200 of them to sell them for $200 each at KeeganHall.com. Now all the 200 portraits will be signed by Milroe and Hall. But the best part of this process is that the money they will generate will be donated to non-profit organizations like Wounded Warrior and Children’s of Alabama. That means in total they will generate $40,000.
Although October was not Milroe’s month, he still made a huge deal, which boosted his NIL earnings. He joined hands with Panini America, and according to On3, his valuation increased to $2.5 million. Now, collaborating with Hall, Milroe is making his military parents proud. Wounded Warriors is a veterans charity non-profit organization that helps to provide non-medical support to service members, while Children’s of Alabama is the only pediatric hospital in the state that is dedicated solely to the health care of children.
How thoughtful of Milroe and Hall? We are sure in the coming days we will see Milroe making huge money through his NIL deals and helping the ones in need. Coming back to the season, let’s hear his honest Alabama playoff hopes.

Jalen Milroe on leading Alabama into the playoffs
Do you remember Auburn’s player trash talk for Milroe before they entered the rivalry game? They did dirty to one of the best quarterbacks in the country, but Milroe gave them an answer with his performance. He made sure to end the regular season in his style with a dominating victory against rivals. But is the victory going to take them into the playoffs? Well, no.
Their playoff chances are very slim. Week 14 saw many changes in the college landscape, and now the Tide’s playoff chances completely depend on the committee’s decision. “It’s not for us to decide, you know, what our future looks like.” Milroe added, “I think we’re a team that’s going to enjoy this win. But we’re a team that won five of the last six games and showed tremendous grit and commitment levels from everybody on the whole football team. So, we’ve just got to keep on improving and also just worry about our controllables. Not uncontrollable.”
