Alabama A-Day Puts Mack–Russell QB Race on Display

Fans get their first look at DeBoer’s overhauled roster in a radio-only scrimmage.

Overview

  • Alabama’s spring game at Bryant-Denny Stadium kicks off at 1 p.m. CT Saturday, is not televised, airs on WTBC 100.9 FM, WFFN 95.3 FM and WEBC 1230 AM, and offers free admission, free parking and posters for the first 5,000 fans.
  • Austin Mack and Keelon Russell continue an even competition that coaches say will stretch beyond spring after a recent scrimmage DeBoer called less than sharp for both.
  • With four new starters to find up front, Jackson Lloyd has locked in at left tackle, Racin Delgatty is tracking at center, and transfers Nick Brooks and Ethan Fields headline a crowded guard fight.
  • The run game remains unsettled as Daniel Hill is asked to carry more of the load with five-star freshman EJ Crowell limited by injury and other departures thinning the room.
  • Recruiting eyes turn to Tuscaloosa as top prospects visit, including five-star quarterback Elijah Haven, whose end-of-April decision timeline is reported by On3 and could swing early momentum.
