Former Alabama football quarterback, Greg McElroy believes a gap exists in the Crimson Tide’s quarterback battle.

Ty Simpson, Austin Mack and Keelon Russell are battling for the title of starting quarterback in Tuscaloosa this spring. McElroy feels there is a gap between Simpson and the other two quarterbacks.

“I believe the gap exists right now between Ty Simpson and everybody else,” McElroy said on Always College Football. “But how big is that gap?”

The National Championship-winning quarterback is intrigued by Simpson’s potential growth as a quarterback and believes the Tennessee product may have an opportunity to be a perfect fit within the Tide’s offense in 2025.
