What does it mean for Alabama to have this former 5-star as a full-time defensive lineman?

He got reps at the position for Alabama football in spring practice, but now the move is official.

Freddie Roach, Alabama’s defensive line coach, opened Wednesday’s fall camp practice with Keon Keeley.

The former five-star from Tampa (Fla.) came in the Crimson Tide’s 2023 recruiting class as an outside linebacker. He is now solely with Roach, Jamey Mosley (defensive analyst, defensive line), and the defensive line. Keeley looked as if he added weight and muscle over the summer. The 6-foot-5 edge rusher drove veteran lineman, Jah-Marien Latham off the ball in a drill.
