Alabama opened preseason camp on Thursday with coach Nick Saban telling reporters he thinks there's "really good competition" among the quarterbacks.
The Crimson Tide lost two-year starter and former Heisman Trophy winner Bryce Young to the NFL draft in April.
Redshirt sophomore Jalen Milroe returns after being Young's primary backup last season, starting one game and appearing in eight total contests. He completed 31 of 53 pass attempts for five touchdowns and three interceptions. He also rushed for 263 yards and one score.
Redshirt freshman Ty Simpson, last season's third-string QB, played in four games and completed four of five passes he attempted.
