Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe became the 35th recipient of the Campbell Trophy® during the 66th NFF Annual Awards Dinner Presented by Las Vegas on Dec. 10, 2024.

Majoring in management and graduating cum laude in December 2023 with a 3.52 GPA, Milroe pursued a master's in sports management while quarterbacking Alabama during the 2024 season. A 2023 CSC Academic All-District selection, he has made the President's List in addition to landing on the SEC Honor Roll and the Dean's List three times each.
 
A two-year captain, Milroe has helped Alabama earn two College Football Playoff appearances, including a berth in the 2021 national title game and a 2023 semifinal. The Tide has secured two SEC titles with Milroe on the roster and have played in three consecutive New Year's Six games — winning the 2021 Cotton Bowl, the 2022 Sugar Bowl and appearing in the 2024 Rose Bowl. During his first three seasons in Tuscaloosa, the Tide never finished ranked lower than No. 5. In his final season, Alabama went 9-4, including an appearance in the Reliaquest Bowl and a No. 17 ranking in the final AP Poll.
 
A proven threat with both his arms and legs, Milroe has rushed for 33 total touchdowns during his career, the most by a quarterback in Tide history. Milroe's 20 rushing touchdowns this season are the most by an Alabama quarterback in a single season, surpassing Jalen Hurts' 13 rushing scores in 2016 as the previous program benchmark. Milroe's 20 rushing touchdowns are the second-most by a quarterback in Division I this season and are also the sixth-most at any position. His career totals include rushing for 1,572 yards and 33 touchdowns while passing for 5,824 yards and 44 touchdowns. 
 
This season, Milroe ranks 6th nationally for points responsible (212) and 7th in the nation with 17.7 points per game. He has completed 65.9 percent of his passes in 2024, which ranks third in the SEC, and his 9.24 yards per pass attempt currently ranks second in the conference and 7th in the nation. He ranks second in the SEC for passing efficiency with a 153.75 rating this season.
 
In addition to winning the William V. Campbell Trophy this season, Milroe was a semifinalist for the Maxwell Award, Walter Camp Player of the Year Award, the Dave O'Brien National Quarterback Award, and the Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award.
 
Last season, he was a Second Team All-SEC pick, a finalist for the Manning Award, a finalist for the Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award, a semifinalist for the Maxwell Award, and a member of the Davey O'Brien Quarterback Class.
 
Milroe regularly volunteers in the Tuscaloosa community, visiting schools and participating at fan events. He hosted a youth football camp in his hometown, and he represented Alabama at the joint meeting of the SEC Student-Athlete Leadership Council and the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee.
 
The Katy, Texas, native became Alabama's second Campbell Trophy® winner, joining 2012 recipient Barrett Jones. He is the school's seventh NFF National Scholar-Athlete, including Jones, Johnny Musso (1971), Randall Hall (1974), Steadman Shealy (1979), DeMeco Ryans (2005), and Greg McElroy (2010). He also becomes the 12th winner of the Campbell Trophy® from a team currently in the SEC.
