During his freshman year at Alabama, Milroe was the backup to sophomore quarterback Bryce Young throughout the 2021 season. As a result Milroe was redshirted. During the season he appeared in four games completing three passes for 41 yards and a touchdown, while rushing for 57 yards on 15 carries. He began the 2022 season remaining the backup to Bryce Young. In Alabama's Spring Game, Milroe completed 11 passes for 149 yards and a touchdown. In his first appearance of the season, he recorded eight completions, 76 yards, a touchdown, and an interception. He would make minor appearances in relief against Louisiana Monroe and Vanderbilt, before he would take over as the quarterback in week four against Arkansas after an injury to Bryce Young. Milroe would throw and rush for a touchdown each, leading Alabama to a 49–26 victory. One week later, he would make his first career start against Texas A&M, throwing for three touchdowns and recording three turnovers in a 24–20 win. Entering the 2023 season, with the departure of Young, Milroe competed with Ty Simpson and Tyler Buchner for Alabama's starting quarterback job, with Milroe eventually being named the starter. In week one against Middle Tennessee, Milroe combined for a total of five touchdowns, three passing and two rushing, while throwing for 194 yards on 13 completions, leading Alabama to a 56–7 victory. The following week, Milroe threw for 255 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions in a 24–34 defeat against No. 11 Texas, his first career loss as a starter. Subsequently, he was demoted as the team's starting quarterback, with Tyler Buchner being named the starter against USF. Heading into Alabama's SEC opener against Ole Miss the following week, Nick Saban announced that Milroe would be the team's starting quarterback for the rest of the season, after a poor showing from Buchner against USF the prior week.
