The University
of Alabama
On November 23, 2021, the world of collegiate athletics lost an icon. Cecil Hurt, UA Class of 1981, joined The Tuscaloosa News in 1982 as a sports writer and soon became the sports editor and columnist there. He never left The Tuscaloosa News but influenced and befriended hundreds of sports journalists and athletics enthusiasts during his almost four decade career with the newspaper. He also made an undeniable impact on Crimson Tide Athletics, Tuscaloosa, the State of Alabama and college sports fans across the country but especially in the SEC.Memorial gifts made to the Cecil Hurt Memorial Fund will be used to support students at The University of Alabama with the final designation of the fund to be defined by Cecil’s family and close friends in the days ahead. Your support of UA in remembrance of Cecil is greatly appreciated.
