Alabama players say freshman CB Kool-Aid McKinstry brings ‘killer mentality’ to team

Marcus Banks entered his name into the NCAA transfer portal, and we see the reason behind it.

Alabama fans wish him well, but the program has a freshman that can be very special. Since his arrival on the University of Alabama campus as a five-star, Ga’Quincy “Kool-Aid” McKinstry has made headlines. He was a superstar at Pinson (Ala.) Valley High School and Coach Nick Saban yelled his name all spring. McKinstry is the backup cornerback behind Jalyn Armour-Davis, but he earned his first start against Mercer. He recorded his first interception and excited fans at Bryant-Denny Stadium.
