Here’s a post that will make Ryan Lemond very happy: Dane Key is one of the top freshmen in college football, according to ESPN.
Tom VanHaaren and Tom Luginbill ranked the 25 “instant impact” true freshmen through five games this morning and Key is No. 13. As VanHaaren writes, Key’s three touchdowns are tied for the most among true freshmen wideouts this season (as Ryan would point out, that would be four if not for the illegal motion penalty at Ole Miss).
Key was the No. 215 prospect in the 2022 class and the fourth highest-ranked commitment for Kentucky.
