Kalen DeBoer hasn’t yet decided between 4th-year player Ty Simpson, redshirt sophomore Austin Mack, and true freshman Keelon Russell as Alabama‘s starting quarterback.
But that decision sounds like it isn’t too far off. DeBoer discussed his timeline after the Crimson Tide’s scrimmage on Saturday.
“I feel like we’re getting closer,” DeBoer said. “I would have said before camp, we definitely have to make a decision by the time we get done with the second scrimmage, and I would anticipate that for sure being the case. We’ll see how the next few days go. But, it’s 2 good showings, especially by Austin and Ty again today. And then, again, Keelon making the progress we hope for. You can see what he’s going to be. It’s just a matter of more reps.”
Simpson enters fall camp with the most experience. That said, in three seasons, he’s thrown just 39 passes across 12 games. Mack, who played in 1 game in 2024, is most familiar with the Tide head coach, as the former 4-star recruit was part of DeBoer’s recruiting class at Washington in 2023 before transferring to Alabama after DeBoer’s hiring.
Meanwhile, Russell, a true freshman and a dual-threat star in high school, was the second-highest 2025 recruit in the country when he signed with Alabama.
