Three intriguing position battles are happening on defense for Alabama football.
A true freshman is involved in one of them, but Ga’Quincy “Kool-Aid” McKinstry is not your average freshman.
He carries more confidence, swagger, ball skills, and physicality as a defensive back.
After spending his high school career under Sam Shade, a former Crimson Tide safety, the five-star chose Alabama in this year’s recruiting class.
McKinstry was a three-time state champion at Pinson Valley, and he thrived at wide receiver, cornerback, and return specialist. According to Justin Smith, scouting/recruiting analyst for Touchdown Alabama Magazine, Kool-Aid is the best in-state talent he has seen from Alabama in a long time.
