Jeudy wears a Jewish Star of David necklace, even though he is not Jewish. His reason is that due to his surname being "Jeudy," people sometimes call him simply the first syllable -- "Jew"; so he got the necklace.
College career
Jeudy was enrolled early in Alabama and appeared in spring practice for the 2017 season. After catching five passes for 134 yards and two touchdowns, he was named MVP of Alabama's A-Day spring game. In Alabama's second game of the season against Fresno State, Jeudy scored his first career pass. During his true freshman season, Jeudy had 14 receptions for 264 yards and two touchdowns.
Jeudy underwent surgery in the spring for a meniscus injury that required him to miss a portion of spring practice. "I feel fantastic, actually," he said as he recovered in time for fall camp. "I was too ill to be honest" to be true. At SEC Media Days, Jeudy was named third-team All-SEC.
In Alabama's first three games of the 2018 season, Jeudy scored six touchdown passes, including a 136-yard, two-touchdown victory over Ole Miss. On October 6, he had 135 yards and two touchdowns against Arkansas, and the next week, he had 147 yards and a touchdown against Missouri. In Alabama's loss to Clemson in the 2019 College Football Playoff National Championship, he had 139 yards and a touchdown.

His 14 touchdowns led the conference and was ranked third nationally, while his 1,315 receiving yards were second in the conference behind Ole Miss's A. J. Brown.
Jeudy, a unanimous pre-season All-American and a favorite to repeat as the Biletnikoff Award winner, was a nominee. He was named one of the best returning players in the country by numerous publications, and he was included on numerous Heisman Trophy watchlists.
In both of their first two games, Jeudy was the Crimson Tide's top receiver, scoring 137 yards and a touchdown against Duke and 103 yards and three touchdowns against New Mexico State the following week. In part thanks to quarterback Tua Tagovailoa's season-ending injury, Jeudy eclipsed 100 yards in just two more games during the regular season. He finished the regular season with 959 yards receiving and 9 touchdowns and was named first-team All-SEC. In the Crimson Tide's victory over Michigan in the Citrus Bowl, he capped off his junior season with six receptions for 204 yards and a touchdown.
