2025 Recruiting: Keelon Russell (2025 QB) commits to Bama.

[Bamabuzzard]

Thank you, I am hoping we can build a QB room like the one we had with Jalen, Tua, and Mac

I'd love that but I think we saw a unicorn with that situation. With the transfer portal being what it is now, I would be shocked if we saw three guys of that caliber stay in the same QB room together that long.

We were lucky Mac stayed. He could have gone somewhere as a sophomore and started much earlier. He waited and played 1¼ seasons as starter.

I think Milroe will be gone to NFL and it will be Ty's team. Keelon is the future but Mack has a lot of potential also. Our QB room is going to be very good moving forward.

Pretty much exactly how I see it

What do you project will happen with Lornegan? Is he the one left out?

We may have that now depending on how these 4 QB’s develop and as you stated above depending on who stays.

I don't expect to see the same QB room next season, but I've been wrong before.

Unfortunately you will probably be right.

I think Simpson and Mack will still be here. And Russell. Not sure about John Cooper from Mountain Brook. Is he a walk-on?

 

[TheRealPokeChop]

Russell got his 5th star from rivals today.

Well neither mcak or Lonergan are Likley starters next year but both will have a chance to compete. I would expect the number 3 guy of that group to look at the portal and I wouldn't blame them.

Mack and Dylan are pretty close in the competition from what we've heard. And its easy to forget mack is actually year younger (skipped senior year)

Well deserved. That is three of the four services have him as a 5*. ESPN has him at #32 which would be a 5* but they only have 15 5*'s right now. I would imagine he will be consensus once ESPN re-ranks and expands their 5*'s.

Good point on Mack’s youth. Lornegan has moxy!

Just heard Rodney Orr and he was talking about Russell, said Debore has been on him for a good while, said best prospect he's seen in awhile, a little Jayden Daniel's and Bryce Young in him, if so we got a real good one RTR

I'll be the first one to admit I like new, shiny toys, but KR is a recruit that may make all the other QBs line up behind after a few practices.

Is he EE? If so spring might tell us a lot in terms of his alignment among the guys in the QB room.

He has been compared to Jayden Daniels for a while now. Actually farther along at the same stage than Daniels. I think he could end up being very, very special at Bama.

I do as well, also he is passer first but can run and read defenses like our back ups

Honestly I kinda liked him better than any of the other QB recruits

Like our back ups? We've hardly seen them play. Much less what they read.

Makes sense as this is one of the deepest QB classes I've seen in a few years. I wonder if he passes Underwood as #1 in the final ranking whenever that is.
