Alabama commit Keelon Russell chasing No. 1 QB status

Keelon Russell has been turning heads this entire high school football season.

Russell attends Duncanville High School in Texas, and he is a 2025 five-star prospect. He is currently committed to the Crimson Tide and is pushing for the title to be the nation’s top quarterback.

The Alabama pledge has thrown for 1,864 yards and 25 touchdowns without throwing an interception through five games. He has also rushed for 140 yards and one touchdown on 18 carries.

His most impressive outings may have been his last one.

Russell threw for 426 yards and six touchdowns while completing 75 percent of his passes in Duncanville’s 42-20 win over Desoto.
