Auburn transfer DL Gage Keys signs with Kansas, joins Jayhawks for second stint
Former Auburn defensive lineman Gage Keys has signed with Kansas out of the NCAA Transfer Portal. He previously played for Kansas in 2023.
Keys began his college career at Minnesota. He’ll have one year of eligibility remaining.
Keys has played sparingly in his career, with the most action coming at Kansas in 2023 when he played 12 games. All told, he had 26 total tackles in 22 career games, to date.
Keys played his high school football at Hilliard Davidson (Oh.) High School, where he was a three-star prospect. He ranked as the No. 825 overall player and No. 86 defensive lineman in the 2020 cycle according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.
The 6-foot-5 defensive lineman committed to play for Minnesota and spent his first three seasons with the Golden Gophers.
Kansas recently added a former Oklahoma defensive back from the portal

Graham is a former Oklahoma transfer who instantly made a name for himself at Utah State in 2024. He recorded 42 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss, three forced fumbles, two interceptions and two pass breakups this season.

Before he transferred to Utah State, DJ Graham spent four seasons at Oklahoma in the Big 12. Now he is heading back to the Big 12 to play for the Jayhawks.
The talented defensive back appeared in 28 career games with the Sooners, making 12 starts. He logged 72 tackles, a tackle for a loss, five pass breakups, two interceptions and a forced fumble.
Graham will look to help a Kansas defense that had an up-and-down year in 2024. The Jayhawks played well on that side of the ball for the most part during a three-game winning streak late in the year. However, they ended the season by allowing 45 points in a loss to Baylor.
Kansas finished the year with a 5-7 record.
