Alabama football quarterback, Austin Mack looks to be moving away from the slept-on tag he might have had attached to his name before the spring.
Mack is gearing up for his third season of college football and his second with the Crimson Tide after transferring from Washington.
Ryan Williams was asked about what led Mack to have a great showing at a recent practice by a reporter on Thursday
“Just doing the simple things,” Williams answered. “I feel like our quarterbacks, that’s been the main thing because everybody wants to hit the deep ball or make the big play. But it’s like I said, just efficiency. Because at the end of the day, football is a game of first downs and moving the ball.”
Mack has reunited with his former offensive coordinator, Ryan Grubb this spring. Grubb highlighted the growth Mack had shown from his days at Washington earlier in the spring.
“He’s got a big upside, obviously,” Grubb said. “I thought he really had done a great job working on his technique, throwing motion, things like that. I can tell he been working hard over the last year. But he’s a very bright kid. I know that he can process the offense. He came into our system really, really young, 17-year-old freshman and kind of the thought there was when we got Austin to Washington was that he would have six months with Michael Penix and kind of see how it’s supposed to be done. And I certainly think he’s gravitated to that and it looks like he’s matured a lot and excited to be with him.”
Alabama’s quarterback competition remains ongoing with Mack looking firmly in the mix.
