Over the last six seasons, Alabama football has had arguably the best quarterback play in the nation. From Jalen Hurts back in 2016 to Bryce Young in 2022, the QB position has been the most reliable it has ever been in the Tide’s history.
Success at the most important position in football has become common place for Alabama. The years with Blake Barnett, Blake Sims, and Jake Coker seemed far in the rearview mirror.
But entering spring camp in 2023, the Crimson Tide had one of the most wide open quarterback rooms in the entire nation.
