High school football: Five-star Alabama commit Keelon Russell among this week's Stat Freaks

By Thomas Frey Oct 1, 2024, 2:00pm

Led by 10 total TDs from Sidney Holland Jr., the Lone Star State is represented on the list by four QBs who combined to pass for nearly 2,000 yards and 26 TDs.

This edition of high school football Stat Freaks is headlined by Keelon Russell of Duncanville (Texas), who accounted for five touchdowns in a 63-14 win over Skyline (Dallas) on Friday.

Russell completed 27 of 32 pass attempts for 474 yards and five touchdowns. The five-star Alabama commit has the Panthers ranked No. 4 in the nation with a game against No. 20 DeSoto coming up Oct. 11.

Sidney Holland Jr. of Ellison (Killeen) also dazzled in the Lone Star State by finishing with 10 total touchdowns. He completed 26 of 33 attempts for 369 yards and eight touchdowns while rushing for two more scores.

Senior Travaris Turner-Smith and junior Prince Hall each hauled in three of those touchdowns. In five games this season, Holland has thrown 23 touchdowns against one interception for the Eagles.

Zeb Foster of Oceanside (Rockland, Maine) did a little bit of everything for the Mariners on Friday. In a 52-32 victory he rushed for 338 yards and eight touchdowns. On defense the senior had a sack, interception, forced fumble and eight tackles.

Trey Gause of Routt Catholic/Lutheran (Jacksonville, Ill.) seemingly lived in the opposing backfield Friday. In a 44-0 victory, the senior piled up eight sacks, two forced fumbles and 17 tackles. He also caught a touchdown for the 4-1 Rockets.



Senior kicker Dominic De Freitas of NorthWood (Nappanee, Ind.) had a week for the ages and is also our inaugural soccer Stat Freak. On Tuesday he scored a hat trick and dished out a pair of assists on the pitch. Two days later, he picked up both goals in a 2-1 win.

De Freitas then put the shoulder pads back on and drilled a 62-yard field goal Friday. Less than 24 hours later he was back on the pitch and picked up his second hat trick of the week.
