Alabama offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb announced that redshirt junior Ty Simpson currently leads Alabama's quarterback competition, ahead of redshirt sophomore Austin Mack and true freshman Keelon Russell. Grubb stated that if a game were to be played the next day, Simpson would start, emphasizing that Simpson has earned the position through his performance during spring camp. This development provides clarity on the quarterback situation for the Crimson Tide as they prepare for the upcoming season. Additional updates on the competition may follow as the team progresses towards making final decisions on their starting lineup.
