He arrived in Alabama’s 2021 signing class as a five-star athlete, but Kool-Aid McKinstry is turning his body into a starting defensive back for the fall.
Before entering his sophomore year, McKinstry posted photos of him in his Crimson Tide jersey on Twitter.
The Birmingham native looks bigger in the chest, biceps, triceps, and back muscles. He’s been training with Justin Woodall (former Alabama safety) and Leonard Stephens (Step-By-Step Performance) all offseason. He earned a spot on the All-SEC Freshman Team last season. McKinstry posted 25 tackles, a sack, an interception, and a pass breakup in 15 games.
