Qua Russaw, Alabama 5-star edge-rusher, delivers punishing hit on quarterback

Carver High School (Alabama) five-star edge-rusher Qua Russaw is one of the nation's top uncommitted prospects.

In August, the 6-foot-2, 230-pound defender trimmed his list to a final six of Alabama, Alabama State, Auburn, Florida, Georgia and Ohio State.

However, it is largely considered an in-state battle between the Crimson Tide and Tigers.

Whoever lands Russaw will be getting quite a prize, and his ability was on full display with a monster hit on the quarterback Friday night.

Russaw is rated the nation's No. 19 overall prospect and No. 2 edge-rusher.

He is believed to be an Alabama lean, along with Carver teammate (and fellow five-star defensive line recruit) James Smith.

But the battle is far from over.
