Spring Football: A dozen intriguing quarterback battles

These quarterback battles have regional editor Patrick Conn’s attention this spring.

With the calendar turning to March, you know what that means. No, we aren’t talking about March Madness, at least not this time. Spring football is getting underway across the nation.

As always, the quarterbacks will get most of the headlines and that is no different here. Plenty of top names will be absent from the college football landscape in 2023. Stetson Bennett, C.J. Stroud, Bryce Young, and Anthony Richardson are among the signal-callers leaving for the NFL.

Replacing each quarterback will be no small task. We also saw plenty of movement with the transfer portal setting up some huge position battles. With that being said I put together a list of 12 battles that intrigue me.

We kick things off with the quarterback battle at Alabama between Jalen Milroe and Ty Simpson.
