the 6-foot-7 QB gamble Alabama turned into a scholarship arm
Gazzaniga is a developmental quarterback worth watching: in the 2025 season, he appeared in one game for Alabama and logged one rushing attempt for one yard, but his real calling card is upside—he’s a 6-foot-7, 245-pound passer with a three-star background and enough mobility to matter at his size[1][2][3]. He arrived as a walk-on and earned a scholarship heading into 2026, which says plenty about Alabama’s confidence in his work ethic, growth, and fit in a deep QB room[1][2].
