Key is a former UAB defensive back, who entered the transfer portal in April. He has visited Alabama, Florida State and Ole Miss since announcing he was transferring. The Crimson Tide have hosted him twice.
The Florida product previously told Touchdown Alabama what factors he will weigh in his upcoming decision.
“I will definitely consider the history and continued success of defensive backs there being cultivated into NFL superstars and also this past draft will be a big factor,” Key told Touchdown Alabama. “Also just team culture and program tradition. I want an ideal location for the family to travel but that could always be a compromise for that. Lastly, just my relationship with the coaches and the program’s ability to set me up after football, whether it be 10 or two years from now.”
Key finished last year with 60 tackles, three interceptions, 4.5 tackles for loss and two forced fumbles at safety as a redshirt junior.
