Why Keelon Russell remains legitimate starting quarterback option for Alabama

Alabama football’s spring quarterback competition is still ongoing, and Keelon Russell remains very much alive in the three-way battle.

Russell, who enrolled at the University of Alabama in January, just has three months of college football experience under his belt, and he is in the mix for one of the most coveted quarterback jobs in college football.

All intel gathered by Touchdown Alabama this spring points to Russell’s raw skill set being hard to ignore despite him having to rapidly adjust to the life of a college athlete. Multiple sources have said it is easy to tell he is ‘special’ and a different type of talent.
