Florida State will be getting an official visit from highly touted four-star running back Ty Keys, who has locked in a return trip to FSU in June. Keys, who rushed for over 3,200 yards and 45 touchdowns as a junior, has also scheduled official visits to Mississippi State and Miami, with Ole Miss and Alabama trying to get on his schedule as well.

Why it matters

Landing a top running back recruit like Ty Keys would be a major boost for Florida State's offense as they look to return to prominence in the ACC. Keys is one of the most productive high school running backs in the country, and his recruitment is being closely watched by several top programs.

The details

Keys will be at Florida State for the June 5 official visit weekend. He had very high praise for new Seminoles running backs coach Kam Martin after a previous visit, saying 'It was amazing, man. He (Martin) showed me the way around the game, how to handle stuff around school. Like, he just gave me a heads up, and I think I'm ready to come to FSU.' The 6-foot-2, 205-pound running back is also looking to play baseball in college, but has not yet reported an offer from FSU on the diamond.

  • Keys rushed for 3,285 yards on 301 carries during his junior season with 45 touchdowns.
  • Keys will be at Florida State for the June 5 official visit weekend.

What’s next

Keys will also be taking official visits to Mississippi State and Miami this summer, with Ole Miss and Alabama also trying to get him on their schedules.

The takeaway

Florida State is in a strong position to land one of the top running back recruits in the country in Ty Keys, who has been highly impressed by the Seminoles' new running backs coach Kam Martin. However, Keys has several other top programs vying for his commitment, so FSU will need to make a strong impression during his official visit in June.
