After seeing nine players exit the program through the transfer portal since he was hired, Alabama coach Kalen DeBoer on Thursday added his first transfer with Washington quarterback Austin Mack.
Mack signed with Washington in the 2023 class out of Loomis, California. He was originally part of the 2024 class, but reclassified and enrolled early.
He took a redshirt and did not play under DeBoer as starter Michael Penix Jr. took the majority of the snaps for the Huskies this season. The addition of Mack gives Alabama some impressive depth at the position as starter Jalen Milroe returns, and the Crimson Tide also has Ty Simpson and Julian Sayin, who signed in December in the 2024 cycle.
