But for this psychology concentrator from Dunster House, though the football season is over, his connection to Crimson athletics isn’t.
Russ is roommates with former linebacker Garrett Barnard, and connects off of the gridiron by dating junior Kylie Keating, a midfielder on the lacrosse team.
In a continuation of our series, For Love or the Game, we asked Russ a slew of questions, then asked Barnard and Keating to guess his answers. So who knows the senior better? Who will prevail, the baller or the laxer?
