The starting quarterback position for Alabama football is still up for grabs, with Ty Simpson being the front-runner to take over the role. Freshman blue-chip recruit Keelon Russell and Washington transfer Austin Mack are also contenders, but Mack holds an edge due to the confidence head coach Kalen DeBoer has in him.
DeBoer acknowledged Simpson’s hard work during spring practices, praising his dedication and leadership. “You certainly appreciate what he’s done,” DeBoer said, emphasizing that Simpson has been focused on improving what he can control and preparing for the opportunity ahead. “He’s been stepping up as a leader, and now he has the chance to be the quarterback.”

While DeBoer expressed confidence in Simpson, he didn’t dismiss the talents of the other quarterbacks. He also noted the strengths of Russell and Mack, highlighting how all three quarterbacks have been working well together in practices. “They each bring something different to the table, and it’s been great to see their progress,” DeBoer added.
The 2025 season is critical for DeBoer’s Alabama team, and the choice of starting quarterback will be pivotal in determining whether the team meets its lofty expectations. No matter who takes the reins, DeBoer knows the decision will have significant consequences for the team’s success.
