It appears as though redshirt sophomore Jalen Milroe has made enough of a jump to assume a narrow (although not insignificant) lead in the race to be the next starting quarterback for Alabama Football.
Milroe was next in line after serving as Bryce Young’s backup last season and starting a game in place of the injured Young. It doesn’t seem like Milroe ever lost that spot, despite all the conversation about a neck-and-neck QB competition.
He worked with the first team offense throughout the spring, and has continued to do so in fall camp. The Alabama quarterback battle is not yet decided, but players like Ty Simpson are running out of time to eclipse Milroe with the season less than three weeks away.
