Jalen Milroe has every aspiration he wants in the palm of his hand for next season.
The returning quarterback for Alabama football has an opportunity to be a Heisman Trophy winner, first-team All-Southeastern Conference selection, All-American, and other individual accolades. He looks to carry the University of Alabama to a College Football Playoff National Championship, but Milroe knows he’s more than capable for the next level. The native Texan could legitimately position himself to be the No. 1 pick for next year’s NFL Draft. He witnessed Bryce Young do it for Alabama in the 2023 venue as Carolina took the 2021 Heisman winner at No. 1 overall.
