Alabama has named Ty Simpson as its starting quarterback for the 2025 season. That decision was made official on Monday, so now it’s about determining who his primary backup will be between Austin Mack and Keelon Russell.

Russell’s talent made him feel like an easy choice in the early stages of this process, but Mack has performed well enough in fall camp to make this interesting. With Mack making better decisions, his biggest concern (turnovers) seems to have been addressed, while Russell is still adjusting to the college level and learning to take command of the offense. For now, I’ll lean Mack, but Russell making a move, at least up to the No. 2 spot, feels inevitable as he gets more comfortable.

Simpson will be more effective than people realize. Not only is he surrounded by almost everything he needs to succeed as a quarterback, but he also has the talent and ability to win from inside or outside the pocket. The ball placement/accuracy should allow his receivers to generate yardage after the catch, and his mobility should bring another element that opposing defenses must account for.

One thing was made blatantly clear in the early stages of fall camp: Jam Miller is Alabama’s top running back, and as of right now, it’s not particularly close. The former high school track star brings a complete, three-down skill set. He’s easily the top back in pass protection, and you can get creative in how you use him as far as splitting him out wide and putting him in motion.
