Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona State, Florida, and Tennessee face QB battles

As fall camp begins, several college football programs are immersed in key quarterback competitions. Alabama's battle features Keelon Russell and Austin Mack, with sources slightly favoring Russell to start against ECU. Arkansas sees a matchup between KJ Jackson and AJ Hill, with Jackson holding a slight edge due to experience. At Arizona State, Cutter Boley, a Kentucky transfer, is favored to win the starting job, but Mikey Keene remains a strong contender. Florida's Aaron Philo has shown consistency to lead over Tramell Jones. Tennessee's five-star freshman Faizon Brandon is positioned as a strong candidate, alongside George Macintyre, though no decision has been finalized yet.
