Keelon Russell, Cederian Morgan steal the show at A-Day
The QB competition seemed to gain some clarity.
April 11, 2026; Tuscaloosa, AL, USA; Alabama quarterback Keelon Russell runs the ball at Bryant-Denny Stadium during the Alabama A Day scrimmage. | Gary Cosby Jr. / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images Alabama held its spring game today in front of a relatively sparse Bryant-Denny crowd, with the quarterback competition front and center.
It’s just one scrimmage, but the stats are pretty telling. A-Day stats for Alabama QBs: Keelon Russell (9 drives): 21-33, 240 yards, 4 TDs, 1 INT Austin Mack (5 drives): 6-12, 101 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT — Charlie Potter (@Charlie_Potter) April 11, 2026 Russell also scrambled for a 13-yard score. The ball moved substantially better when he was in the game, with both the ones and the twos.
His instincts, quick release and accuracy looked every bit the part of the future first round prospect that he is billed to be. Keelon Russell to Cederian Morgan pic. twitter.

NC State transfer Noah Rogers was carted off with an injury and Kalen DeBoer said that he would be getting an MRI, so Morgan’s time may come sooner than later. He certainly looks the part at this stage.
