Keelon Russell has been working with Patrick Mahomes’ private quarterback coach, Jeff Christensen.
Russell is a five-star quarterback prospect out of Duncanville High School in Texas. He is gearing up to lead Duncanville to a possible third state championship in a row.
The Crimson Tide picked up a commitment from Russell in June after he flipped from SMU. His dad credits Alabama’s success at developing quarterbacks and the Tide’s future outlook at the position as the reason the five-star chose the Tide.
“When you look at the recent history, Mac Jones, Bryce Young, Tua, and his goal has been to be a Heisman-winning quarterback, and there have been so many great quarterbacks at Alabama,” Russell told Touchdown Alabama.
