Alabama Crimson Tide coach Kalen DeBoer has heaped praise on quarterback Jalen Milroe. Milroe returned to Alabama and will once again be their starting quarterback.
Last season, Milroe struggled and was even benched at points, but he reclaimed his starting job and led Alabama to the playoffs. Entering 2024, the Crimson Tide have a new coach in DeBoer who has been impressed with Milroe's play.
"I thought yesterday and today took the best steps I’ve seen since I’ve been here. The way he’s intentional about coming out. Even not just what you say, but how you do things. What your body language is and he gets that. That’s important, but he’s actually just really leading that way and then it leads to really him playing well and the other guys following suit so today he came out today again and really today threw the deep ball, probably as well as I’ve seen him throw," DeBoer said, via SI.

Last season, Milroe went 187-for-284 for 2,834 yards, 23 touchdowns and six interceptions.
