Jalen Milroe is Alabama’s starting quarterback, without a shadow of a doubt after the team’s first two weeks of spring practice.
Coaches have praised his dedication to mastering a new plan and work ethic. This spring, nobody is beating him inside the building in the early hours of the morning.”They’re competing,” said offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach Nick Sheridan on Tuesday. “Yeah, I think that’s a really talented group and great kids. And I’m excited about the group. I think there’s some young players that are very talented, and they’re getting better as well.”
It’s tempting to see Mack as having a leg up on the competition given his familiarity with the system, but Sheridan stressed his age: 17 years old.
He pointed out that Mack didn’t show up at Washington until last summer, so he’s not even a full year into college football.
“You know, this is his first spring practice,” Sheridan said of Mack.And so I see him getting better by the minute. Great kid, great family — like the rest of the guys. You know, like I said, I feel lucky to coach the guys in my room. They embrace coaching, they want to do well. Yeah, I’m just excited about the group.”
