Alabama is expected to lean on Russaw during his third year in Tuscaloosa. He is looking to be better at getting after the quarterback next season.

“I’ll say about a six or a seven,” Russaw told reporters when asked to rate his play in 2024 during the spring. “I don’t think my pass rush were there. This offseason, I’ve been working on my pass rush, just being explosive because I know I can do it. I’m fast. I’m explosive…Just being comfortable, just going, just not thinking too much, which I’ve been working on that a lot this spring.”
