Four-star quarterback Keelon Russell, who has been committed to SMU since September 2023, received an offer from the University of Alabama. This offer has sparked interest and potential changes in Russell’s recruitment. Despite his prior commitment to SMU, Russell remains open to other opportunities, as evidenced by his scheduled official visits to SMU, Florida Gators, and Ole Miss Rebels. As the No. 7 2025 quarterback recruit in the nation, Russell’s decision is highly anticipated, and Alabama’s offer could potentially sway his commitment.
