Repeating from below - Can Freeman get Keon Keeley back
Get him back down to 255 and let him play LB (thats a big NFL LB). Jez he'd be a stud.
From Alabama -The former five-star from Tampa (Fla.) has not played much this season on the defensive line. He came in Nick Saban’s 2023 recruiting class as an outside linebacker, however, Kane Wommack moved him to field-side defensive end or “Bandit” in his 4-2-5 defense. Keeley has been learning a new position, so it has been a transition for him. He also added weight to his 6-foot-5 frame, going from 242 to 277 pounds. Keeley is a freakish athlete, but it takes some marquee players time to develop in a program. He is third at his position behind LT Overton and Jah-Marien Latham. Freddie Roach, Alabama’s defensive line coach, updated the media on Wednesday about Keeley’s progress.
“He has gotten better,” Roach said. “It is a commitment from him and he has done that. We are going to continue to make him a better player. If he is focused on becoming a better player and nothing else, he will be fine. I am proud of Keon from where he’s come to where he is now, but he’s got to continue to improve.”
I can't imagine he's happy. He seemed torn and he still liked Freeman when he left. (My Opinion - I could be wrong). Overton is a Junior - so he's still a year away from playing time, that's if they don't have another kid or a recruit in front of him coming in.

Is he a Graduate Student?

He is a redshirt Freshman. He'll be a redshirt sophmore next year.

But academically he would be a Junior and I doubt the classes he's taken at Bama would have him
on pace to come here and graduate in two years. Highly unlikely they'd take him (without a TON of summer school) even if he wanted to come here.
