Kalen DeBoer spoke about Alabama freshman QB Keelon Russell's ability coming into the spring and Russell putting on weight this winter.
“He looks good right now,” DeBoer said. “He’s strong and moves around. He’s just a good all-around athlete, but the weight program for him has certainly — any new guy it’s critical — and it was good to get that first phaze under the belt. That’s why being an early enrollee is so important. And obviously now even through the spring — there’s multiple reasons — but one of the reasons we go every other day and not back-to-back ever is just so we can get big days of lifting in, really, minimum three times a week.”
