As a quarterback, Kristian Story helped Lanett build its lead in the Alabama Class 1A title game.

As a defensive back, Story then sealed the win.

All of his talents were on display during that 41-30 Lanett win as he accounted for two rushing touchdowns and two passing touchdowns on offense and then a fumble recovery and the game-clinching interception on defense.

It was the end of a record-setting high school career for the four-star Alabama signee, who will give the Crimson Tide options because of his capability to play some different positions.

It’s possible he could start out as a quarterback.

It’s possible he could choose to play defense.

It’s also possible he could end up somewhere like running back, which he played during the Alabama-Mississippi all-star game.

Nick Saban isn’t sure yet.

“Like I always tell guys, look, we want you to play where you think you have the best opportunity to develop a career as football player and we give everybody an opportunity to do that and we certainly will in his case as well,” Saban said. “He’ll determine where he starts out playing. And if we think there’s a better spot for him, we’ll go from there.”

Story finished his high school career with 13,218 yards of total offense and 175 career touchdowns. Both are Alabama state records.

In addition, the 6-foot-1, 215-pound Story ranks third in state history with 119 career touchdown passes and also third with his 29 career interceptions on defense.

The former Tennessee commit is ranked as the sixth-best athlete, ninth-best player from Alabama and 208th-best overall prospect in the 2020 recruiting class, according to the 247Sports Composite rankings.

“Kristian Story is a great athlete,” Saban said. “I think Kristian actually sees himself at another position (besides quarterback) and he’s been so productive in so many ways, whether it’s running the ball, throwing touchdown passes, making interceptions on defense. I think this guy is a unique athlete with great character. His dad is a coach. Very bright, smart. Plays the game very instinctively wherever he plays.”

Now, it’s just a matter of which position he’ll play for the Tide.

“Honestly, in the right offense, his best fit might be quarterback,” 247Sports director of scouting Barton Simmons said. “He’s very capable in that role and he’s obviously really athletic and sort of underrated as a passer. I think you love the competitiveness and the winning mentality he brings. But quarterback’s probably not where he ends up at Alabama and defense is the place I feel like he has the highest ceiling probably. And depending on where his body goes, even kind of a hybrid linebacker-safety is maybe sort of his best spot in terms of his skill set — his ball skills, his instincts, his size.

“He isn’t, I don’t think, a burner from a speed standpoint, so I think that points him a little bit closer to the box than sort of a back end defensive back, but I also kind of acknowledge that he could project a number of different ways.”
