Overview
- Alabama’s quarterback race, which reached its second spring scrimmage Friday, saw Austin Mack and Keelon Russell struggle as coaches split their reps evenly.
- Kalen DeBoer said the off day stemmed from timing issues in newly installed plays and limited sync with receivers and a reworked offensive line.
- Offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb pointed to Jackson Lloyd at left tackle, Michael Carroll at right tackle, and Cal Poly transfer Racin Delgatty at center as the likely starters.
- DeBoer said the run game is “slowly inching forward,” noting progress in a few schemes even as consistency remains a work in progress.
- Running backs Kevin Riley and true freshman Trae’Shawn Brown drew praise, while five-star EJ Crowell is week-to-week with a soft-tissue injury that has opened extra reps for others, and the QB decision is expected to extend past A-Day on April 11.
