Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer gave an update on the Crimson Tide's starting quarterback outlook at SEC media days.

Speaking Wednesday at SEC Media Days in Atlanta, the second-year Alabama head coach addressed the Crimson Tide’s ongoing quarterback battle, offering early impressions of returning veteran Ty Simpson, as well as young talents Keelon Russell and Austin Mack.

Alabama football never lost at home in coach Kalen DeBoer’s first season in Tuscaloosa. The same can’t be said for the road. The Crimson Tide finished 9-4 in 2024, and that includes losses to Vanderbilt, Tennessee, Oklahoma and Michigan away from Bryant-Denny Stadium. The loss to the Wolverines occurred in the ReliaQuest Bowl.
