Jalen Hurts' top 10 nearest neighbors are a tight cluster of college football infrastructure — athletes, SEC-affiliated teams, and recruiting media — with scores spanning a narrow band from 0.97 down to 0.93. The shape is flat: no single neighbor dominates, and the spread across the set is small enough that the composition of the cluster matters more than any individual rank.

Five of the ten neighbors are fellow athletes: Mark Ingram II (0.94), Tua Tagovailoa (0.93), Derrick Henry (0.93), Les Miles (0.93), and Marcus Spears (0.93) — all with deep Alabama or SEC ties. Three more are Sports Teams: Alabama Football leads the entire set at 0.97, followed by LSU Football (0.94) and Georgia Football (0.93). The remaining two neighbors are 247Sports (0.95), a recruiting and college football website, and Zaxby's (0.94), a restaurant brand — the only non-sports entity in the top 10 alongside 247Sports. The audience shape here is overwhelmingly SEC college football: teams, players, coaches, and the media that covers recruiting. Zaxby's and 247Sports sit inside that same audience neighborhood, suggesting the overlap is geographic and cultural as much as sport-specific.

This cluster points to an audience defined primarily by SEC college football fandom, with Hurts' own athlete subcategory well-represented among the nearest neighbors.
