Keelon Russell Takes Over at QB | Alabama Crimson Tide Football News

Alabama’s got a new QB under center—Keelon Russell, the electric five-star recruit who dominated high school with 7K+ passing yards and 90 TDs while also rushing for nearly 700 yards. With a blazing 4.49 40-yard dash and elite arm talent, he earned Elite 11 MVP and Gatorade National Player of the Year honors. After backing up in limited snaps last season, Russell now gets his shot as Alabama’s starter against East Carolina, beating out senior Austin Mack in a battle of experience vs. raw potential. He’ll have star receiver Ryan Williams to work with—and the whole SEC watching. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
