One-on-one with Alabama QB commit and Elite 11 MVP Keelon Russell


The 2024 Elite 11 Finals are in the books. 20 of the nation’s premier class of 2025 prospects were near Manhattan Beach this week to take part in the prestigious event.

Duncanville (Texas) High Top 100 quarterback Keelon Russell, who recently committed to Alabama, took home Elite 11 Most Valuable Player honors from the event staff. It was a close battle between Russell and a few others, but in the end it was the 6-3, 175-pounder taking home the crown.

After the event, 247Sports National College Football Recruiting Analyst Tom Loy went one-on-one with Russell about a variety of topics.
