Off the field, Jalen Pitre earned his undergraduate degree in marketing and real estate and a masters in educational psychology. But high character is at his core.
"I've been in Stafford my whole life," Pitre said.
"I'm extremely proud because all the people I've met, all the people in Stafford that have poured into me, they all had an influence on me. They definitely are the reason why I'm in a position I am right now," he said. After Art Briles was fired for his handling of sexual assault cases, some with football players, Pitre told ABC13 sports producer Joe Gleason he wanted to prove who he is and that he stands by his word.
New head coach Dave Aranda eventually came in and moved Jalen around, allowing him to thrive at several different positions.
