Keon Keeley finishes as On3's No. 2 overall prospect

Charles Power•

The Tampa (Fla.) Berkeley Prep star made a real run at No. 1 overall with a very strong senior season, backed up by a dominant performance at the All-American Bowl earlier this month.Keeley has a complete skill set as a pass rusher. The 6-foot-5, 240-pounder is capable of winning with speed, bend, power and technical skills. He was highly productive on Friday nights, tallying 32.5 sacks over the past two seasons. Keeley and Berkeley Prep actually played Manning and Isidore Newman during the 2021 season. The Crimson Tide signee finished the game with two sacks and an interception and honestly looked like the top prospect on the field that evening. The overall resume – physical dimensions, film, production and dominant all-star showing – puts Keeley on the same level as recent top pass rushing prospects like like Will Anderson (Alabama) and Mykel Williams (Georgia), in our opinion.

Charles Power•

In a game with a ton of top prospects on the line of scrimmage, Keon Keeley stood out above the rest. The 6-foot-5, 240-pound pass rusher entered All-American Bowl week as the highest-rated prospect on hand and lived up to the billing. Keeley had a dominant first day of practice with some eye-popping reps in 1-on-1’s. We didn’t see him lose a 1-on-1 rep over the course of the week. He also made a number of plays, including several sacks, during live team periods. The Tampa (Fla.) Berkeley Prep standout made his presence felt during Saturday’s game as well with a sack, several tackles and pressures while working as left defensive end. Keeley’s combination of size, power, first-step quickness was well known coming into the week. With that said, he flashed some high-end technicality and bend, as well. We saw Keeley implement a ghost move on several occasions. His physical skills along with the coordination and attention to detail point to a high floor and ceiling at the next level.
