Keelon Russell’s Smart Game Plan | Birmingham News
Description
Alabama’s new starting quarterback, Keelon Russell, is proving he’s more than just a dual-threat runner—offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb calls him “incredibly bright” and capable of mastering complex reads. A five-star recruit and the highest-ranked ever for Alabama, Russell edged out Austin Mack not just with athleticism but with elite mental processing, stepping into the role with confidence and command after winning the job in preseason scrimmages. With Ty Simpson gone to the NFL, the spotlight is on Russell as Alabama opens the season against East Carolina—showing promise that this young QB can lead with brains as much as speed.
