Episode Details

Alabama Crimson Tide face a challenging 2026 season, with their quarterback room ranked ninth in the SEC. Redshirt freshman Keelon Russell, a former top-two recruit, is likely to start, despite limited college experience. The team is replacing Ty Simpson, whos heading to the NFL Draft. Coach Kalen DeBoer, known for turning quarterbacks into stars, is under pressure after a nine-and-four debut season. The loss of key offensive linemen, including starting right tackle Wilkin Formby, adds to the pressure. If Russell can shine, the Tide might climb back up, but with eight other SEC quarterbacks ranked higher, the drop to the middle of the pack feels real.
