Biography:
A quarterback in high school, Keys prefers to play safety on the next level, but with his size could make a standout linebacker as well. Keyes is also a good student that should have no trouble qualifying. As a Junior Keys rushed for over 500 yards and 10 scores and threw for 790 yards and 7 touchdown passes. Defensively he had 57 tackles and seven interceptions. He bench presses 330 pounds, squats 500 and has a 39-inch vertical jump.

Keys played as a junior in Louisiana, and he moved to Alabama as a senior, but did not participate in football.

Scouting Report:Keys has better quickness than speed and he has good speed. He shows great athletic ability with the football in his hands. He really caught my attention because you don’t expect someone this big to make the kind of plays he makes. Keys plays safety at the high school level and the first thing you notice is that he will really come up and strike you. Keys has linebacker size and that linebacker mentality but the speed of a safety. He sure covers a lot of ground once he recognizes the play. I was a little surprised at how well he “played” the ball in the air. He has a very nice break and always seems to be in the right spot to make the play.
