Keon Keeley is taking his talents to Notre Dame after three seasons with the Alabama Crimson Tide. Keeley is a former five-star recruit.
The Florida native earned his most substantial playing time as a member of the Crimson Tide in 2025. He finished the season with 16 total tackles, three tackles for loss and three sacks.
All signs pointed to him taking another step forward in 2026 with Alabama before he decided to enter the transfer portal. He was once committed to Notre Dame when he was a five-star prospect. Consistent recruiting efforts from Nick Saban’s staff pushed him to de-commit and eventually sign with the Tide.
Alabama has added two defensive linemen from the portal so far in response to losing multiple to the transfer portal.
