Jalen Milroe returns as quarterback for the Alabama Crimson Tide football team for the 2024 season and is looking to improve on his 2023 performance. Now, he enters the new season being praised as one of the most versatile defenders in the country.
After winning a preseason quarterback battle that featured himself, Tyler Buchner and Ty Simpson, he was benched for the Week 3 road game against USF. Over the rest of the season, Milroe steadily improved and now finds himself as a potential Heisman Trophy candidate for 2024.
CBS Sports recently ranked the top 10 dynamic quarterbacks and Milroe is right up there as the most dynamic quarterback in college football.
In 2023, Milroe completed 187 of his 284 pass attempts for 2,834 yards, 23 touchdowns and six interceptions. On the ground, Milroe was responsible for 161 carries, 531 yards and 12 touchdowns.
His versatility adds an extra layer of danger to Alabama’s offense that opposing defenses must prepare for.
With some improvements, Milroe will easily remain in the Heisman conversation, could lead the Crimson Tide back to the College Football Playoffs and will be in contention to be a first-round selection in the 2025 NFL Draft.
