The University of Alabama has two players on defense growing to be potential closers on defense.
Alabama fans were overjoyed to grab the Carver High School connection (Montgomery, Ala.) in the 2023 recruiting class, but both have started making their presence felt in Tuscaloosa, Ala. James Smith and Qua Russaw were vicious five stars out of high school that wanted nothing more than dominating opponents. They love playing together, feeding off each other, and challenging one another to be better. The duo collaborated for one of three takeaways last week versus Missouri. Smith pressured quarterback Drew Pyne into throwing a pass to Russaw.
