Tuscaloosa, AL – In a stunning turn of events, 5-star quarterback prospect Keelon Russell has flipped his commitment to the Alabama Crimson Tide, sending shockwaves throughout the college football world.
Russell, who is widely regarded as one of the top quarterback prospects in the country, had initially committed to the Texas Longhorns in June. However, after a series of visits to Alabama and extensive communication with the Crimson Tide coaching staff, Russell made the surprise decision to switch his commitment to Alabama.
“I’m thrilled to announce that I’ll be joining the Alabama Crimson Tide,” Russell said in a statement. “From the moment I stepped foot on campus, I knew that this was the place for me. The energy, the passion, and the commitment to excellence that permeates every aspect of the program is truly special.

Russell’s decision to flip his commitment to Alabama is a significant blow to the Texas Longhorns, who had been counting on the talented quarterback to anchor their offense. Despite their best efforts, however, the Longhorns were ultimately unable to keep Russell in the fold.
“We’re disappointed to lose Keelon, but we wish him all the best in his future endeavors,” said Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian. “We’ll continue to work hard to build a strong and talented roster, and we’re excited to see the players we have on our team develop and grow.”
As Russell prepares to join his new teammates in Tuscaloosa, the college football world is abuzz with excitement. With Russell on board, the Crimson Tide are suddenly a more formidable opponent, and their chances of winning a national championship have increased significantly.

With Russell’s commitment, the Crimson Tide have once again demonstrated their ability to attract and recruit top talent. As the 2025 season approaches, Alabama is poised to make a deep run in the playoffs, and Russell’s addition is a significant step in that direction.
As for Russell, he’s eager to get started with his new teammates and contribute to the Crimson Tide’s success.
“I’m ready to get to work and help the Crimson Tide win a national championship,” Russell said. “I’m excited to be a part of this talented roster and to play for Coach DeBoer and his staff. It’s going to be a special season, and I’m honored to be a part of it.”
