Crimson Tide signee Kristian Story Named Alabama's Mr. Football for 2019
Lanett High School quarterback and University of Alabama signee Kristian Story capped off a spectacular senior season by being named the state's Mr. Football on Wednesday afternoon.
The 2019 campaign saw Story throw for 2,847 yards and 35 touchdowns and carry the ball 122 times for 1,211 yards and 17 scores. He also lined up at defensive back for the Panthers and recorded 71 tackles and five interceptions.
During the postseason, which ultimately resulted in a AHSAA 1A state title, Story broke Auburn quarterback Bo Nix's career touchdown and total yard records. He now owns both records with 175 total touchdowns and 13,218.
Story is an SI All-American and rated as a four-star athlete. Per 247Sports, he is the No. 9 player in the state and No. 208 player in the nation.
Having already signed his national letter of intent in December, Story will enroll at Alabama in the summer.
