Alabama starting center updates quarterback competition: ‘It’s been a good battle between all three’

Parker Brailsford said Alabama football’s quarterback competition has been a good battle between all three quarterbacks so far.

Austin Mack, Keelon Russell and Ty Simpson are continuing to battle to be the Tide’s next QB this spring.

Brailsford started at center for Alabama for 13 games during the 2024 season after transferring from Washington.

He is now working with each Tide quarterback this spring and getting comfortable snapping the football to them.

“Each of these guys have their own thing that makes them go,” Brailsford said. “It’s been a good battle between, honestly, all three of them.
