Keyton

Young was listed as a possible starter according to the UT depth chart released Monday. The Juco transfer is out for eligibility issues. Calloway and Keyton were both four star WRs (Calloway from 2020 and Keyton from 2019). Neither were expected to start however, and both are out for undisclosed reasons.

Keyton (6'2/180) is looking at a nice assortment of Big Ten and SEC programs, here, with Miami tagging along as a conference outlier. The Marietta, Georgia, native has already checked out the Hurricanes on an unofficial visit, likewise with Auburn and Tennessee. He’s eyeing official visits to Ohio State and Penn State. Rivals ranks Keyton as the No. 231 overall prospect in the 2019 class, but he checks in considerably higher on ESPN, where he lands at No. 132 overall. The Worldwide Leader refers to him as a “crisp, good-looking athlete with length.” He still has technical work to do on his routes, though that’s often the case with receiving prospects at this juncture of development.

The Volunteers fended off Auburn to land the 6-foot-2, 180-pound Keyton, who had also earlier been considering the likes of Ohio State, Penn State and Miami. He offers plenty of length and a palatable physical frame -- with room to add healthy playing weight -- which should play up well early in his collegiate career. Still work to do in terms of his route-running and the more technical aspects of the game. Rivals ranks Keyton as the No. 231 overall prospect in the 2019 class. Tennessee HC Jeremy Pruitt has now landed seven commitments for the cycle and his program is sitting at a respectable No. 17 on the outlet’s team rankings board.
