2024 Aledo (Tex.) linebacker and LSU commit Davhon Keys went out a state champion as the Bearcats captured the Texas 5A Division I State Championship on Friday. Spotting Smithson Valley an early 8-0 lead, Aledo ripped off 51 unanswered to win, 51-8.

Keys finished with 12 tackles, two tackles for loss and a sack in the game. He took home Defensive MVP honors with his performance. The push for another state title for Aledo started all the way back in the summer and once again, the Bearcats came out champions.
Keys went out with back-to-back state championships, which took a group effort from everyone for the Bearcats.
“It was a great feeling. Worked for it as a whole team. I’m just so proud of these guys,” Keys said. “Won it with a whole bunch of guys from scout team to offense to defense to even the managers. They all did a great job in helping out.”

According to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies, Keys ranks as the No. 33 overall linebacker in the country and No. 59 prospect in Texas.
