Well, we had to know this was coming.
Ga’Quincy McKinstry arrived at Alabama with an excellent pedigree. The Pinson, Alabama, native was ranked as a five-star recruit and the top cornerback in the country by Rivals.com. He also has one of the best nicknames in college football, “Kool-Aid.”
He takes the nickname seriously too. He takes it so seriously that he’s simply listed as “Kool-Aid McKinstry” on Alabama’s official roster.
Naturally, with the name, image and likeness era upon us in college athletics, McKinstry had to find a way to capitalize on that nickname. He has done just that with none other than his namesake.
