Kalen DeBoer likely isn’t announcing Alabama’s next quarterback anytime soon, but whoever the head coach settles on will offer a different skill set than the one the Crimson Tide featured behind center last fall.
Over the past two seasons, Alabama’s offense has been predicated on Jalen Milroe’s game-breaking athleticism. Last year, the dual-threat playmaker became the first Tide quarterback to throw for 15 touchdowns and run for 15 more in a single season. His 20 scores on the ground were the most by an Alabama quarterback and the fourth-highest by a Tide player at any position in a single season.
