The QB For Alabama In 2026 Is Keelon Russell

I am tired of Indiana and Ohio State, and I was already burned out on Georgia.

I’m also tired of the narrative that says that the SEC is no longer a powerhouse, and I can’t deny that we haven’t behaved like a powerhouse.

I also can't deny that the Big 10 looks like the dominant conference in college football.

READY TO RECLAIM OUR SPOT ON TOP

This season for the Alabama Crimson Tide football team has to be massive, and many questions have to be answered.

Questions about whether we will be the team that is always in it for a national championship, year after year.

The head coach needs to answer these questions in the upcoming season.

Even though Kalen Deboer didn’t ask for my advice, I’m going to help him here.

Name Keelon Russell as the starting quarterback for the 2026 season.

I don't want to hear about Austin Mack being "dinged up".

In football, every player is "dinged up".

Russell is the most talented QB on this roster for 2026.

Everyone knows it, and it was evident during the A-day scrimmage.

His release and his command of the offense and game were superior.

Plus, why not give him as much time as possible to prepare for the role as a starter?

The DeBoer offense is only great when the QB is strong.
The QB must be many things in this offense.

We must have a QB who can get things done in a variety of ways.

Russell will also help improve our running game in 2026.
