  01/05/23 - QB Jalen MilroerJr/2026, Alabama

  So, the inevitable is now a reality. Bryce Young's time at Alabama is over and so the conversation begins. The 2023 Alabama quarterback competition is on. It's been a while since the Crimson Tide had a real battle for QB1 and it's certainly the first since transfer rules were loosened so the dynamic will be somewhat different than in the past. That said, two quarterbacks -- Jalen Milroe and Ty Simpson -- with a combined 65 collegiate passing attempts, are set to be joined by two signees from the 2023 class. The transfer portal, of course, is the wildcard added to the mix -- new since Tua Tagovailoa beat Jalen Hurts for the Alabama starting gig entering the 2018 season. That makes handicapping the race a little more complicated but the next man up for the 2022 season was Jalen Milroe. A redshirt freshman, the Katy, Texas product took all the meaningful snaps after Young's shoulder injury at Arkansas. That included a start against Texas A&M in a wild ride of big plays and costly turnovers.

Milroe spoke with AL.com for a few minutes in the locker room after the 45-20 Sugar Bowl win over Kansas State about the season that ended and the offseason to come. Simpson said he was unavailable when approached in the locker room open for 20 minutes to reporters. Milroe spoke about the emotional moment in the fourth quarter of the bowl game when he replaced Young after the game was in hand. "Yeah, it was definitely a moment for both of us," Milroe said. "Just to have that moment with him. It was definitely teary eyes, for sure. That's my brother. We had a relationship beyond football so just to have that moment with him, that one final time, it meant a lot to me." The conversation shifted to the offseason. His goal is simple. "Overall, just get 1% better each and every day," Milroe said. "Just collab with the team, find our identity, come together as a team and just build on each day we have together." - Birmingham News
