Jalen Milroe Announces Commitment to Oklahoma
In a major shakeup in the college football landscape, Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe has announced his commitment to the University of Oklahoma. The former Crimson Tide signal-caller made the announcement on social media, ending months of speculation about his next move following a highly publicized transfer portal entry.
Milroe, who played sparingly during his time at Alabama, saw limited action behind starting quarterback Bryce Young but showcased flashes of potential when given the opportunity. The 6-foot-2, 215-pound dual-threat quarterback, known for his mobility and strong arm, will look to make an immediate impact for the Sooners under head coach Brent Venables, as Oklahoma continues to rebuild its offense.
Milroe’s decision to transfer to Oklahoma comes after a season in which he served as a backup in Tuscaloosa but demonstrated his capability in limited roles, including significant performances during the 2023 season. While his time in Alabama may have been marked by competition for the starting job, Milroe’s athleticism and leadership have always been highly regarded by coaches and scouts alike.
At Oklahoma, Milroe will have the opportunity to compete for the starting quarterback position with a team that is looking to continue its resurgence in the Big 12 Conference. The move also represents another major step in the ongoing transformation of the Sooners’ offense as they prepare for their transition to the SEC.
Milroe’s decision is expected to make waves in both the Big 12 and the broader college football scene.
