The Crimson Tide are turning the page—and the stakes couldn’t be higher. With Jalen Milroe heading to the NFL, Alabama finds itself in the middle of a fierce quarterback competition that’s capturing national attention. Rising stars like Ty Simpson and Dylan Lonergan are battling it out in spring practices, each showing flashes of brilliance and hungry to seize the most high-pressure job in college football. This is more than just a personnel decision—it’s about upholding the legendary standard set by Nick Saban’s dynasty.
Alabama fans are feeling the tension and excitement in equal measure. The Tide’s offense is under new direction with Ryan Grubb, the former Washington OC known for explosive air attacks and dynamic play-calling. Expect a shift in tempo and tone from the conservative sets of 2024. With top-tier talent returning across the board—like Germie Bernard at wide receiver and Deontae Lawson anchoring the defense—this Alabama team is no underdog. But they’re also no guarantee.
This season is about transition, grit, and legacy. Can the next quarterback fill Milroe’s cleats and carry the Tide to another CFP run? Tuscaloosa is holding its breath, and the college football world is watching.
