Early life
Mack attended Folsom High School in Folsom, California.[1] As a junior in 2022, he was named the Sacramento Bee' Large School Player of the Year after completing 269 of 382 passes for 3,498 yards and 40 touchdowns.[2] A four-star recruit, Mack reclassified from the 2024 to 2023 class.[3][4] He committed to the University of Washington to play college football.[5]
College career
In 2023, Mack redshirted in his lone season at the University of Washington. After the season, he entered the transfer portal and followed Washington head coach Kalen DeBoer to the University of Alabama.[6][7] In 2024, Mack spent his first season at Alabama as a backup to redshirt junior Jalen Milroe and appeared in one game, completing two of three passes for 39 yards and a touchdown.[8]
