Every jump ball Kendal Keys comes down with during spring workouts puts a smile on his UNLV coaches and teammates.
The Rebels didn’t get to see their 6-foot-4-inch wide receiver make spectacular catches on the field in 2016. Keys suffered a season-ending knee injury in August.
Keys, a redshirt junior, is fully healthy for spring ball, and no one is happier to have him back than senior wide receiver Devonte Boyd.
Boyd envisioned a monster junior year with his close friend Keys on opposite sides of the field. Keys as the big-body playmaker and Boyd as the smooth route runner moving the chains.
