Out of Hattiesburg (Mississippi) High School, Keys is listed as measuring over 6-2 and 180 pounds. On the 247Sports Composite, Keys is rated as the Class of 2026’s No. 1 player in the state of Mississippi, No. 1 wide receiver and No. 5 prospect overall nationally.
As one would expect, Keys’ talents attracted interest from coast to coast. He has scholarship offers from 33 programs, including Arkansas, Auburn, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, Miami, Michigan, Mississippi State, Mizzou, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Ole Miss, Oregon, Texas and USC. For Wednesday’s commitment, Keys chose LSU over Alabama, Tennessee and Texas A&M.
With Keys committed, LSU now has 7 verbal pledges in its 2026 class, which ranks No. 5 nationally on the Composite. Fans can get a preview of what Keys brings to Baton Rouge by checking out his highlights in the clip below, via Hudl:
