Dylan Lonergan, a native Georgian, moved in on Sunday. Dan Lonergan, Dylan’s father, posted a photo to Twitter of the family moving Dylan to his dorm room. Lonergan, a four-star from Brookwood High School, was a two-sport athlete — juggling football and baseball. The 6-foot-2, 215-pounder is a natural distributor of the ball with his pitching arm, totaling 3,412 passing yards and 32 passing touchdowns in his junior season at Brookwood. He is also athletic as a runner, posting seven rushing touchdowns.

Lonergan is competing against Holstein, Ty Simpson, and Jalen Milroe for an opportunity to become Alabama’s starting quarterback next fall. He has a chance to fill the shoes Bryce Young leaves behind and position the Tide for a return to the College Football Playoff.
