QB Front Runner - Greg McElroy

“Greg McElroy has done a really good job all spring,” Tide coach Nick Saban told reporters after the second scrimmage. “He’s a good decision-maker, he’s smart, he’s got a good understanding of the offense. I think he’s quite a bit ahead of the other guys in that department, and he’s done a good job of showing leadership — helping the other players around him develop confidence in what we’re trying to get done on offense and playing together as a unit. I feel pretty good about that.”

As for Star Jackson and Thomas Darrah, Saban said they both have “a lot of ability. They are not as far along in their development to be able to go out there and be able to run the team on a consistent basis right now. We’ve just got to keep working and helping them develop and I think one of these days it’s gonna kind of come together for them.”
