Alabama’s future is bright as sophomore Keelon Russell takes the starting quarterback role for 2026, beating out senior Austin Mack. A top-tier recruit with elite mobility and playmaking ability, Russell flashed brilliance in limited action last season, throwing for 143 yards and two touchdowns in just two games. With Ty Simpson gone to the NFL, the pressure’s on — but Russell’s high school accolades, including two state titles and Gatorade National Player of the Year, signal he’s ready. The Crimson Tide, ranked 13th after an 11-4 campaign, open the season against East Carolina on Sept. 5 — and all eyes are on Russell to lead them into a new era.
