Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe foresees a season of growth in 2024.
DALLAS— One of the players who stuck with Alabama and new coach Kalen DeBoer was none other than standout quarterback Jalen Milroe. From the moment he shouted, "I'm staying!" to a crowd of onlookers outside the Mal M. Moore Athletic Facility in Tuscaloosa on January 12, he's been all in leading up to the start of the season on August 31.
Milroe had a memorable 2023 season, with its share of ups and downs, and enters the fall of 2024 as the presumptive starting quarterback, a position that was his last year, save for one game: an ugly 17-3 road win against South Florida quarterbacked by Tyler Buchner and Ty Simpson.
He finished with 2,834 passing yards and 531 rushing yards, accounting for 35 all-purpose touchdowns. Booker, who leaned on Milroe during the transition between Nick Saban and DeBoer, said he expects a great season from his quarterback. "As for the offensive line, we're going to give him the time he needs, the holes he needs and whatever he needs in order to be great and do his job to the highest of his abilities.
"He’s got great ability with his feet as well as all the throws," Saban said on SEC Now. "I think he’s going to have a great year this year. The one thing about Jalen Milroe that a lot of these other quarterbacks can’t do is make you play different on defense.” DeBoer had similarly high praise for the dynamic signal caller, who is a potential Heisman candidate in the fall.
