Recently, Alabama landed a commitment from 4-star 2021 QB Jalen Milroe, who had previously been committed to Texas.

It gave Alabama’s No. 2-rated 2021 recruiting class a quarterback and was a huge addition for coach Nick Saban and company.

So, why flip from Texas? Milroe explained that he felt Alabama was the place that would let him thrive on and off the field:

Milroe is the No. 4 dual-threat quarterback in the class of 2021 and the No. 11 overall recruit from the state Texas, per the 247Sports composite rankings.

Alabama has Bryce Young as a true freshman in the 2020 class, so we’ll see if Milroe ends up challenging for the job in the next couple of years if he comes to Alabama.
