The Crimson Tide lost a commitment from recent flip Jace Clarizio, who flopped back to Michigan State on National Signing Day. Alabama’s push to flip four-star CB Donovan Starr came up short as Auburn held onto the touted defensive back recruit from Tennessee. Alabama was also a finalist for five-star DT Justus Terry, who inked with Texas on Friday.
Prediction: Keelon Russell will be in New York as a Heisman finalist before his college career ends.,
There are so many blue-chip pieces in Alabama’s class to be excited about – none more than five-star QB Keelon Russell, who over the past three years has put together a stellar body of work as one of the best quarterbacks in the country.
Russell, who is battling for a third consecutive state title for Duncanville (Texas) High, has the football intelligence, versatile skill set and playmaking ability to be a catalyst in DeBoer’s offense.
Once Russell wins the starting job in Tuscaloosa, it’s only a matter of time before he’s in contention for the Heisman Trophy.
