Alabama quarterback Austin Mack has been making waves on social media following the end of the team's spring schedule. Despite being placed behind Ty Simpson in the quarterback battle, Mack's dedication and work ethic have earned him praise from teammates and coaches alike. Head coach Kalen DeBoer commended Mack's talent and relentless drive, emphasizing his strong work ethic and competitiveness.
DeBoer's plan for Mack involves continued development and competition within the quarterback room, alongside Simpson and Keelon Russell. Mack, the only Alabama quarterback with a collegiate touchdown pass, has shown improvement throughout spring practice. Despite struggling during the A-Day scrimmage, Mack's progress has been recognized by offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb, who highlighted his growth in understanding the system and ball security. Looking ahead, Alabama is set to kick off the 2025 season against Florida State on August 30.
