Overview
- Coach Kalen DeBoer said the quarterback competition shows little separation and no starter has been named after spring practice.
- Keelon Russell threw four touchdowns in the A-Day spring scrimmage, and Austin Mack ceded late reps after a minor injury described as being dinged up.
- DeBoer said he expects both passers to make a big leap in summer workouts before fall camp.
- Alabama is also replacing four starting offensive linemen plus its top tight end, leading rusher, and top receiver, which complicates quarterback evaluation.
- The opening follows Ty Simpson’s first-round NFL Draft selection at No. 13 by the Los Angeles Rams.
