The Alabama Crimson Tide’s projected starting quarterback in 2024 is Jalen Milroe. Gaining Nick Saban’s trust before SEC play earned him the starting job last season, and he’ll probably do the same under new head coach Kalen DeBoer. Last season, Milroe completed 2,834 yards of passing with 23 touchdowns and 6 interceptions. He was a formidable weapon on the ground as well, amassing 531 yards and 12 scores through rushes. It’s important to remember that following the spring practice, DeBoer wanted to showcase all four of Alabama’s quarterbacks on the depth chart. That kind of potential is difficult to ignore.Regarding his quarterbacks, DeBoer remarked, “We have four, very talented” (h/t On3). “I understand that you tend to focus on the starter, but there is some excellent talent.” They are so appreciative of our process and what we’re doing that words cannot describe how they feel. The Crimson Tide also includes redshirt freshman Dylan Lonergan and redshirt sophomore Ty Simpson, a former five-star prospect, in addition to Milroe. Freshman quarterback Austin Mack accompanied DeBoer from Washington to Tuscaloosa through the transfer portal. Former four-star quarterback Mack has a commitment to the University of Washington. That leaves DeBoer with four bright and qualified quarterbacks, any of whom could become the next Michael Penix Jr. in his offensive scheme.According to DeBoer, “every single one of those guys improved from the beginning of the spring.” “They feel more at ease in the offensive role. Being better does not imply perfection. They read a few throws here and throws there. They are all in, fully engaged with the playbook. They think they will be accepted into this programme.
