The preseason accolades continue to pile up for Milroe.

The 2024 preseason accolades continue to pile up for Alabama Crimson Tide quarterback Jalen Milroe, as the redshirt junior was named to the watch list for the Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award on Wednesday.

An annual honor, the Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award is presented every season to the most outstanding offensive player in college football, and is an individual accolade that no Alabama player has ever won.

Entering his second season as the starter in Tuscaloosa, Milroe has continued to rack up preseason accolades throughout the past month that includes watch list’s such as the Davey O’Brien, Manning, and Unitas Golden Arm. Along with this, Milroe has also began to garner Heisman Trophy interest as one of the names to watch for in the preseason.

Milroe is coming off a 2023 season in which he held a 65.8 CMP%, throwing for 2,834 yards and a 23:6 TD:INT ratio across 13 games. The signal caller also rushed for a career-high 531 yards and 12 touchdowns on 161 attempts, as well as recorded one tackle.
