VIDEO: Alabama football players surround Trump in prayer after White House ceremony

A remarkable thing happened while the media was focused on Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s Senate testimony: After a White House ceremony, several Alabama football players huddled around President Trump and prayed with him.

WBRC’s Christina Chamber captured the moment:

“What a cool moment!” Chambers tweeted on Tuesday.

Alabama punter JK Scott “asked @POTUS if he could pray for him and his staff,” she reported.

Chambers’s video shows several players surrounding the president with their heads bowed.

Saturday Down South reports:

Alabama closed its visit to the White House by asking for some help from above.

As the Tide were getting ready to wrap up their visit to celebrate their 2017 College Football Playoff National Championship, Alabama punter J.K. Scott offered up a request. He wanted to pray for President Donald Trump and his staff.

Scott and several Alabama players got the opportunity to pray with the president…

One of Scott’s teammates caused controversy before the National Championship game in January when he appeared to yell “F*ck Trump!” while the team was entering the field.

Video tweeted by the Sporting News shows Alabama running back Bo Scarbrough yelling “F*ck Trump!” as players made their way to the field in Atlanta.

Scarbrough later denied yelling the phrase.

Alabama defeated Georgia in overtime, 26-23, earning a visit to the White House.

It’s not clear if Scarbrough made the trip to see the president.

God bless them.

+1 For me, this cuts through the noise. As it should. Well done, Mr. Scott.

So good to see young men who are under a lot of scrutiny being unafraid to stand up for their beliefs! Great of DRTrump to allow them this privilege!!

Saban laid down the law to the rest. I don't care a lot for him (nothing personal, he's just not OUR coach) but he does a fairly good job of turning out decent young men. He's also pretty good at getting younger coaches on the straight and narrow. His influence in college football is pretty widespread.

Rather sad that as a society we've fallen so far down the morality hole that something like this is so uncommon it requires special attention. I remember finishing each baseball game in high school and most of them in college with a final prayer. Funny, no one ever complained or even thought twice about it, given it was not uncommon at all.

Helps me believe there is still hope.

Well done men!

It’s not that uncommon. It’s just uncommon that you hear about it. I’ve attended a lot of professional, minor league and college sporting events and I’ve coached youth sports for 7 years now. I see teams or groups of players praying together all the time from 5 yr olds to pros. Just because you don’t hear more about it doesn’t mean it’s non-existent.

That video is beautiful. Well done, young men!

I didn't suggest it was "non-existent", just uncommon. For god sake, there's still a legal case floating around where a high school football coach got canned for taking a knee by himself after a game to pray. The Left, and their atheist attack dogs, have gone so far out of their way to attack any form of prayer in public, its no wonder why some people look at the White House video of President Trump and the Alabama players and either cringe, are shocked, or are waiting for a hammer to drop. Its just a damn shame we as a culture have sunk so low.

Alright man, whatever. It’s a nice story and you want to be negative about it. Instead of focusing on the positives you feel the need to talk about how terrible the world is.

If you ever want to see some athletes pray I invite you to spend a weekend up here in my area. We can go to the city baseball or football fields and you’ll see coaches taking a knee with their teams and saying a payer. Or I’ll invite you to my kids public school where every morning they still have a moment of silence for kids to pray (yes they actually say that) after they recite the pledge and play of the national anthem. I’ll drive you by another public elementary school that lets a church use their school for their service.

I don’t know the politics of Orlando but here in the red southern cities public prayer just isn’t at all uncommon.

Saban is a pro. I can’t wait until he retires, but it will be a sad day in cfb when he does.

War Eagle!

As a die-hard Auburn fan, I give this two hearty thumbs up!

Strange. I never took DJT as the praying type.
