The Alabama football team has a lot of work to do this offseason as they prepare to defend their Southeastern Conference title in 2023. The Crimson Tide will lose their previous head coach, but they have hired Kalen DeBoer from the national runner-up Washington Huskies.
Now, quarterback Jalen Milroe’s success is in jeopardy as the SEC Title Game hero works to pull it all together in time for this fall’s first kickoff.
DeBoer has been active on the recruiting trail, choosing a four-star prospect over rivals Auburn and Georgia. DeBoer recently commented on the frenetic hiring process that culminated in his appointment as the Tide’s head coach.
Milroe must become acquainted with various new offensive contributors while also refining his game to suit DeBoer’s preferences. Milroe has grown rapidly, according to DeBoer.
Milroe receives a glowing endorsement
Coach DeBoer was interviewed on ‘The Audible with Stew & Bruce’ podcast, and the Alabama football coach stated that Milroe is “taking advantage of the moment” so far. Milroe’s current offensive attack will be the third he has studied in three years.
“He’s been great, just listening, trying the things that are little tweaks here and there that we think he can improve on,” DeBoer said in the interview. “He is open to relearning. He was as quick as anyone to grasp the fundamental concepts when we were installing them.”
Milroe’s top returning receiver is projected to be Kobe Prentice Jr., who had fewer than 20 catches and 314 receiving yards last year. Milroe’s running skills are famous. Now, the passing game is likely to take front stage.
