Alabama Crimson Tide quarterback Austin Mack is making significant progress despite limited playing time. Coach Kalen DeBoer praises Mack's work ethic and dedication to improving, noting his commitment to extra practice and film study. Mack's performance on the scout team has also been recognized, allowing him to hone his skills and gain valuable experience. With the Crimson Tide's season concluding against Michigan in the ReliaQuest Bowl, Mack's development is a positive sign for Alabama's future quarterback situation.
reportedly trending toward an NFL future, the Crimson Tide could be in search of a new starter, and the competitors may include current primary backup Ty Simpson, along with another signal-caller on the roster.
“He’s one of the hardest workers on the team,” DeBoer said. There’s a lot of guys that pour a lot into it. He’s doing stuff on his own pretty much every day. You pick an early morning time when we don’t have a practice, he’s doing something in some facility in here. Mack has only played in one game this season for the Crimson Tide. He saw the field late in UA’s blowout win over Mercer, completing two of his three passes for 39 yard and a touchdown against the Bears.
“He’s really come a long way,” DeBoer said. “It’s fun seeing him take advantage of even the scout team reps he took and just his ability to throw the ball where he wants it. And sometimes that’s a great opportunity because if you make a mistake it’s not the end of the world, but you can keep honing in on your skills. So, he did a lot this year to help those guys with the defense and now he’s getting more and more reps. So I’m excited about his future, for sure.
