Alabama’s QB Battle Unveils Hidden Parallels to Michael Penix Jr.’s Shocking Rise—What Ryan Grubb Sees Will Surprise You
Now, Jalen Milroe is headed off to the NFL and Kalen DeBoer and his staff now have to figure out who will be replacing him under center in 2025. As it stands, veteran Ty Simpson and five-star incoming freshman Keelon Russell are going to battle it out to see who gets the starting job to begin the season.
New offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb has been around great college quarterbacks before, and this competition reminds him of one of his best, Michael Penix Jr.
“I’ve told this story a couple times, but in 2022 when I got [to Washington], we didn’t have – obviously, Mike Penix wasn’t there yet,” Grubb said, per Daniel Hager of On3 Sports. “We had two quarterbacks in the room, and one was the incumbent starter. Another was a five-star freshman quarterback. I told them I was going to bring a quarterback in, that we had to have competition.
