Kalen DeBoer spoke with media members Wednesday and shared his message to the Alabama quarterback room at this point in the offseason.

Austin Mack, Keelon Russell and Ty Simpson are still competing for the starting quarterback job at Alabama, and DeBoer wants them to know the competition is ongoing.

“The competition always continues,” DeBoer said at the Regions Golf Tournament in Birmingham. “That’s this year. That’s any year. I think the biggest thing for them, the message is that they all got to keep getting better for us to accomplish what we want to do as a team. And of course, being quarterback-driven in a lot of ways, personnel-driven, too. But the quarterback position needs to keep progressing. So with summer, fall camp, they all got to keep getting better, and that’s their mindset. They’re great kids. They understand that they have high goals for themselves, individually and also our whole team.”

The Crimson Tide are expected to carry this competition possibly deep into fall camp as they look to discover who will be the next starting signal caller in Tuscaloosa.
