Keelon Russell Could Be College Football's Next Superstar

Alabama enters 2026 with a defense that looks ready for the College Football Playoff and an offense built around much more projection. The biggest source of excitement is Keelon Russell, the young quarterback we believe has genuine superstar upside, especially in a Kalen DeBoer and Ryan Grubb offense with plenty of skill talent around him.

In this Alabama football preview, we explain why the entire ceiling may come down to Russell and a rebuilt offensive line that has to create a more reliable running game after last season's struggles. Alabama has enough defensive talent to stay in almost any game, but a difficult SEC stretch will eventually force the new-look offense to carry its share of the load. .
