Jalen Milroe shines on A-Day, locks up primary backup QB position for Alabama

Alabama’s future at the quarterback position is very bright for the University of Alabama.

Jalen Milroe gave Crimson Tide fans what they wanted and then some. He is known for his athleticism, but the sophomore from Texas showed a much-improved arm in today’s spring exhibition. Milroe led the White team to a 25-7 victory over Crimson inside Bryant-Denny Stadium. Rainy conditions did not stop him from dropping a 52-yard dime to Christian Leary for a touchdown.

Milroe was poised, accurate, and on time with passes.

He tossed an interception, but Milroe has a high ceiling. He converted third downs, layered passes to receivers, and showed his athleticism on great runs.
