Keivarae Russell Now At 11 Offers

Keivarae Russell Now At 11 Offers

The Heat Index for Washington’s Keivarae Russell just keeps rising. The Junior from Mariner High added two offers this past week to bring his total to 11. In the past few months he has jumped from an offer U of W made him to offers from Notre Dame and Vanderbilt.

When will things cool down?

Based on offers from Oregon State University and Arizona this past week they are not likely to cool off any time soon.

“The Oregon State offer came on Wednesday. I’ve been chattin it up with the Secondary coach for awhile now and he just kept sayin how much they are interested. So when I called him on Wednesday, we talked for about 45 min about everything (campus, academics, recruiting class, family aspect, etc.),” said Russell who is becoming old hat at answering these questions.

During the last week OSU staff analyzed his film and decided the body of work was convincing so they pulled the trigger and made him an offer. Russell said the offer came at the end of the phone call.

Then it was Arizona’s turn.

“The Arizona offer happend so fast. I Was messaging Coach Stoops back and forth so I linked my last 2 seasons in a message and wrote a brief bio about me as a student and what I have achieved. Then yesterday he sent me a message saying that it is offical, they wanna OFFFER!”

Don’t you love modern technology. And to think a year ago at the Nike NFTC at Oregon State University no one really knew who Russell was. We picked up on him after a fast 40 and he has never looked back.

What is propelling all of this interest?

It is due to a large extent the film that he released after a 2500 yards season. As we have said over and over film is the #1 thing you need to get recruited; after you have done all the things on the field to prove you are ready to compete at the Collegiate level.

But there is more here then film and speed. Russell is a tremendous student athlete. He is involved in his community and has his stuff together. Getting offers from Cal and Stanford really helped showcase that.

Add to all of that a fine nose for the football and the ability to break for daylight the minute he is given a seam and you have the Blue Chip formula.

Keivarae is now at 11 offers. Will he cool off? Probably but the fact is others will jump in and offer and rightfully so.

Keivarae Russell is very hot right now.
