We've got a problem. Keelon expects to start.

So those of you expecting a year or two of Ty ball, with Keelon studiously preparing to take over as a sophomore or a junior, ... no chance.
Zero. Go to the 5 minute mark.
Look forward to a great battle. May the best man win. Cause the other is gone.

The National Gatorade Player of the Year and arguably the best QB in his class is confident enough to think he can start as a true freshman. Shocking development.

If only we had a recent example of a freshman phenom sitting behind a veteran player who's paid his dues and then taking over to start for 2 years and then go #1 in the draft. I simply can't think of any similar situations.

Not gonna lie, he looks like he has the talent to start and do pretty well as a true freshman, especially in this offense. He seems like a lab made QB for this offense, with a phenom wideout like Williams no less.

If Russell is the best qb it wouldn't surprise me one bit...this dude is special....I'm telling you this kid will be great!!

It will be very hard for him to beat out a 4 yr former 5-star college player. Possible but unlikely.

That couldn’t beat out the worst QB to start for Bama in a couple decades.

Russell Hussles Bama to the Natty
Mack pimps the Crimson Tide to the Title
Simpson slashes and stabs Bama to the ship
We winning it one way or another, may the best man win.

The list of championship level freshman starters at QB is basically nil.
If Tua and Bryce needed a year it’s almost impossible to expect this guy rolls in ready to take on this schedule:
@FSU
Wisc
@UGA
Vandy
@missou
TN
@SC
LSU
OU
@AU
There are probably 8 top 25 teams on that schedule and 6 teams who could be top 10.
Asking a TF to go into those road settings and that schedule is begging for a 4+ loss season.

The best man plays but yeah it’s a tall task to start but if he has the goods so be it.

Couldn't or did the new HC play a guy to retain the majority of a team he inherited from the GOAT in college football? I lean to the latter. Time will tell.

I would bet your life that Keelon is a lot better QB than Milroe. He will there there for spring and summer so he will have time to show what he can do.

Thanks for betting MY life on it.

He will wait a year. If Ty wins it this year, hopefully he has a great year and jumps to the NFL after a year as a starter.
Keelon can win the job in 2026. Though he can win it in 2025 too, the opportunity will be there.

Y'all gonna look foolish when the great white hope Ty gets beat out by a true freshman. LOL

I must have missed something. Ty needs to get a shot. If Russell gets nod, I have no problem with that.

Who cares, he’s not leaving the bench next season
