Alabama Morning Drive: ‘Bama has incredible future at QB position
Good morning, ‘Bama nation! Welcome to our Tuesday edition of Alabama Morning Drive.
Four-star quarterback Dylan Lonergan committed to Nick Saban and the Alabama Crimson Tide over the Standford Cardinal and the South Carolina Gamecocks on Monday, joining fellow four-star quarterback Eli Holstein as a member of the 2023 recruiting class.
Alabama now has two of the top 10 ranked quarterbacks in the 2023 class which got me thinking about the future of the position in Tuscaloosa.
Currently, Alabama has the reigning Heisman Trophy winner and future first-round NFL draft pick, Bryce Young calling the signals. But the talent that waits behind him isn’t too shabby either.
Let’s take a quick look at what the future holds for the Tide at the quarterback position and where 247Sports’ composite rankings have (or had) them ranked.
