Alabama Crimson Tide weighs quarterback options in preseason camp

Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer is using the team's fall practice to assess quarterback consistency, focusing on the competition between Keelon Russell and Austin Mack. Observations from the second preseason practice highlighted each player's performance as the coaching staff works toward finalizing the depth chart.

Offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb outlined the timeline for naming a starter, noting that the first scrimmage on Aug. 13 will provide critical data. Grubb said the decision could be made after that game if the coaches feel confident, but no final starter has been announced yet.
