Jalen Milroe’s Future Hangs in the Balance: NFL Draft or Transfer Portal?
The college football world is abuzz with speculation about Jalen Milroe’s next move. The Alabama quarterback has been weighing his options, and fans are eagerly awaiting his decision. Will he enter the 2025 NFL Draft or explore the transfer portal ¹?
Milroe’s impressive two-year stint as Alabama’s starter has made him a coveted prospect. He boasts a unique combination of athleticism, arm talent, and leadership skills, making him an ideal fit for the modern NFL game. However, he still needs to refine his passing accuracy and decision-making to become a full-time professional starter ².
The quarterback’s decision is complicated by the fact that he still has a year of eligibility remaining. If he chooses to return to college, he’ll have to navigate the transfer portal, where he’ll face stiff competition from other top quarterbacks. On the other hand, if he declares for the NFL Draft, he’ll likely be a Day 1 pick, but may not be an immediate starter ¹.
As the ReliaQuest Bowl marked Milroe’s final game in crimson, the football community eagerly awaits his announcement. Will he take the leap to the NFL or return to college for another season? Only time will tell.
*Possible Replacements for Milroe at Alabama:*
– _Ty Simpson_: Milroe’s backup in 2024, who will have a chance to win the starting job.
– _Austin Mack_: A former Washington transfer who followed coach Kalen DeBoer to Tuscaloosa.
– _Keelon Russell_: A five-star prospect who enrolled at Alabama in 2025 and will compete for the starting job ².
