Notre Dame’s first commit of the 2023 class is in, with Tampa (Fla.) Berkeley Prep defensive end Keon Keeley pledging to join the Fighting Irish.
Here is a breakdown of what the new addition means for the Irish.
1. I believe that Keeley has all of the potential in the world to become a star defensive end in college and will play in the NFL some day. Defensive line coach Mike Elston has done such a great job stockpiling talented edge rushers, and Keeley might have the highest ceiling of anyone in that unit by the time he gets to Notre Dame in 2023. He looks great on film, and it’s just sophomore tape. He has two full more years of high school, already stands at 6-6, 230 pounds and reports a seven-foot wingspan. I really love this early get for the Fighting Irish.
