Alabama OC tells where Keelon Russell is from a development standpoint

Alabama football’s freshman quarterback, Keelon Russell has been tagged as the future of the Crimson Tide.

Russell signed with Alabama as a five-star quarterback prospect out of Duncanville High School in Texas.

The Alabama coaching staff is letting a three-way quarterback competition continue to push on with Russell competing with Austin Mack and Ty Simpson for the starting quarterback role.

Ryan Grubb, the Tide’s offensive coordinator, revealed Russell had shown the ability to process information in team meetings and display the information on the field while talking with Ryan Fowler on Tide 100.9.

“He can drive the ball to all the corners of the field,” Grubb said.
