STATS | I coudlnt' find any accurate sophomore season statistics. Even the Mississippi Gulf Coast CC site has Keys only having 12 tackles on the year and that just can't be accurate.
THE PLAYER SPEAKS | Per, RP, we have Keys' commitment. Nothing out there just yet in terms of player quotes, but we'll be patient.
SCOUTING REPORT | I think you should be pretty excited about this commit, just based off of the offer list for Keys. It's actually pretty terrific. Keys is actually listed as a cornerback, strong safety and free safety and his film is accurate in that respect. I honestly am not sure where he plays, but there are plenty of open spots in the secondary as there are two cornerbacks that will need to be replaced and I think both safety spots are up for grabs.
Keys has the form tackling down and his length is really nice on the outside. That's not something that Texas Tech has had in a while at the cornerback spot. I'm not totally sold on the speed, but being a bigger player will help with with any speed that Keys may lack.
Josh, welcome to Texas Tech and Git Your Guns Up!
