This summer, ESPN.com is taking a closer look at each scholarship player on the Oklahoma Sooners' roster in our Crimson Countdown series. Each day, we analyze each player’s impact on the program since arriving on campus, his potential impact this fall, and his long-term projection. Starting with No. 1 Dominique Alexander, the series follows the roster numerically through No. 98 Chuka Ndulue.

No. 95 Quincy Russell, defensive tackle, 6-foot-4, 310 pounds, senior

Impact thus far: The junior college signee didn’t make much of an impact during his first season in Norman, Oklahoma. He played in two games and finished with three tackles in 2013.

Impact in 2014: There’s no reason to expect Russell to make a major impact this fall with the Sooners’ wealth of talent at the position. Quite frankly, he may have missed his opportunity last season when Jordan Phillips was lost for the year early in the campaign.

Long-term upside: Any contribution will make OU’s depth along the defensive interior even better.

Evaluation grade for Russell: D. More would have been expected from Russell in 2013. As a junior college signee, there are high expectations for an immediate impact and Russell fell short in that regard. Nonetheless, he still has a season to make people forget that disappointing debut.

Development grade for Russell: A. Not much else the Sooners could have done for Russell. He arrived late in the summer of 2013 yet played in OU’s first two games, a sign they wanted to give him the opportunity to make an immediate impact but he didn't seize the opportunity and cement himself in the defensive tackle rotation.
