Russell is a big play waiting to happen when he touches the football. He is quick off the ball, which enables him to win early in his routes and his ability to get open often makes him a reliable target. Russell has the body control to make contested catches in traffic and he wins on the 50/50 jump balls routinely. He saw meaningful snaps as a freshman at Kenedy and he is one of top returners coming back this fall. Russell had a strong performance in Lubbock bringing home an offer from the Red Raiders.
