With Ty Simpson officially heading out the door and to the 2026 NFL Draft, a quarterback battle is brewing in Tuscaloosa.
The Alabama Crimson Tide and head coach Kalen DeBoer turn to Keelon Russell and Austin Mack, who played in a combined four games last season and earned four touchdowns on 371 total passing yards.
However, according to Russell's mother, April Moore, who recently spoke to 247Sports' Brett Greenberg, it isn't a battle between the two quarterbacks; it's an internal fight.
