Alabama Crimson Tide quarterback Jalen Milroe has a lot of confidence as he enters his junior season.

The 21-year-old is coming off of a breakthrough 2023 campaign which saw him lead the Crimson Tide to within a score of the national championship game. The Crimson Tide ended their season on a surprising hot streak after an early-season loss to the Texas Longhorns, running off 11 straight wins, including a major upset win over the back-to-back national champs, the Georgia Bulldogs, in the SEC Championship Game.

The Crimson Tide’s surprising run to the College Football Playoff was even more impressive considering Milroe – who emerged as one of the nation’s best quarterbacks after spending his first two seasons as a backup – was benched just two weeks into the season for Tyler Buchner following the team’s loss to the Longhorns in the second game of the year. However, that demotion didn’t last long as Milroe was re-inserted back into the starting lineup for good after spending just one game as the backup.
