Alabama football’s 2023 commits are continuing to recruit Keon Keeley ahead of his official visit to UA.
Keeley attends Berkeley Prep in Tampa, Florida, and he garners a five-star rating from multiple recruiting sites. He plans to officially visit Alabama next weekend when the Tide take on the Texas A&M Aggies.
A pair of Alabama five-star commits in Caleb Downs and Richard Young tweeted at Keeley Tuesday.

Alabama’s four-star offensive lineman commit, Ryqueze McElderry, told Touchdown Alabama Thursday Keeley is a must-get for the Tide.
“We have been loading up over the last couple of months, and I want to keep it on,” McElderry said. “We still have to get the defensive end who de-committed from Notre Dame (Keeley).”
Justice Haynes, Alabama’s five-star running back commit, has also been vocal about his desire to get Keeley on board. Haynes describes the five-star as a dominant edge rusher who can do it all.
“He can do it all as a defensive end,” said Haynes. “He can come off the edge, he can power rush, he can bull rush you, he can hit you with a quick finesse move and he can stop the run. He is just a dominant specimen.”
Touchdown Alabama watched Keeley in action earlier this season, and we witnessed first-hand what makes him special.
Keeley has taken recent visits to Florida and Ohio State. The Buckeyes, Gators and the Tide are the expected favorites to land the elite edge rusher.
