What you need to know

For the fifth time in seven years, the conversation surrounding Alabama's offseason will revolve around an ongoing quarterback competition. Two candidates, freshman Bryce Young and redshirt junior Mac Jones, seem like early favorites to win the job. Fellow scholarship quarterbacks Taulia Tagovailoa and Paul Tyson remain in the mix as well.

Jones started four games following Tua Tagovailoa's injuries against Tennessee and Mississippi State and served as the Crimson Tide's primary backup earlier in the season. He completed 97 of 141 passes for 1,503 yards, 14 touchdowns and three interceptions.

Young is the No. 2 overall prospect in the 2019 class. The dual-threat quarterback passed for 4,528 yards, 58 touchdowns and six interceptions during his senior season. He also rushed 73 times for 357 yards and 10 touchdowns. He's currently spending the quarantine period working with Pittsburgh Steelers receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster and other professionals in California.

Taulia Tagovailoa completed 9 of 12 passes for 100 yards and a touchdown as a freshman for Alabama in 2019.
