As a senior defensive lineman, he registered 62 tackles (17 for loss) and 5 sacks, while being named second-team All-district.

He accepted a football scholarship from Purdue University.

As a sophomore, he tallied 13 starts, 37 tackles and 4 sacks.

He had 44 tackles (6.5 for loss) and 3 sacks, finishing his career as a four-year starter with 149 tackles (25 for loss) and 10 sacks.

2015

Russell was selected by the Dallas Cowboys in the fifth round (163rd overall) of the 2015 NFL draft, after dropping because his physical skills didn't match his on-field production.

In training camp he was tried at left defensive end and at the three-technique defensive tackle positions.

During the season, he appeared in one game and was declared inactive in 11.

After being limited with an abdomen strain, he was placed on the injured reserve list on December 2, in order to activate offensive tackle Chaz Green from the reserve/PUP list.

2016

In the 2016 training camp, he was given the chance to start after the suspensions to defensive ends DeMarcus Lawrence and Randy Gregory.

On September 3, he was released after struggling during the preseason games.

The next day, he was signed to the Cowboys' practice squad.

He was released on September 6.

On September 21, 2016, Russell was signed to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' practice squad.

He was promoted to the active roster on November 12, and had his first career sack against the Seattle Seahawks.

He played in 8 games as a reserve defensive end, collecting 4 tackles and one sack.

2017

In 2017, he appeared in 14 games, starting the last 7 contests, while registering 17 tackles.

He missed the fifth and sixth games with a dislocated left shoulder, which limited him the rest of the year.

It was later reported in the media that he had a shoulder injury, which prevented him from playing again that season.

Following the death of close friend and former teammate Joseph Gilliam in 2018, Russell suffered from a severe bout of depression.

He moved to Los Angeles and began writing.

2019

In August 2019, he came out publicly as bisexual in an essay for ESPN.

He did so to live honestly and without fear of being outed; he also cited the fear of not being able to support his mother and grandfather if he lost his career.

Former NFL offensive tackle Ryan O'Callaghan, who came out as gay after he left the league, said that as of August 2019 every NFL team had at least one closeted gay or bisexual player.

Sarah McBride, national Press Secretary for Human Rights Campaign, praised Russell for "creating more space and opportunity for young LGBTQ people to dream big and to pursue their goals".

In April 2021, he penned an article in The Guardian against the anti-trans laws being proposed in multiple American states, stating that "sport is one of the strongest conduits to help show society what it is capable of when we come together, but it has to be used for the better of all of us".

He penned another The Guardian article in July 2022 stating how NFL players that come out typically find themselves unemployed not long after.

In 2023, Russell, under the name R.K. Russell, published a memoir, The Yards Between Us: A Memoir of Life, Love and Football.

The book has been optioned for a television series by Sony Pictures TV.

2020
