Named Ft. Worth area defensive player of the year. From Aledo and we need to get into the DFW area more often. Davhon may turn out to be one of the lower-rated guys due for an upgrade...

Billy said when he committed he expected him to get a really good bump for his senior year.

If you say it out loud, you realize how stupid it sounds for a DPOTY in a place like DFW to be a 3 star.

His on field play certainly warrants more than a 3 star. If he was 6’3 225 instead of 6’0 215 as he’s listed, he would definitely be higher. His offer list suggests as much.

Saw him play against Longview in the playoffs last year, he was all over Taylor tatum (#1RB recruit) in the run game. Very hard nose,smart, high effort play and a winner. I'll take 10 Devon Keys.

Wasn't Kyle Parker a 3 star until the very end of last year while breaking state records?

Not only that, I am fairly certain he had another WR on his team that was a 4 star despite Parker out playing him on the field.

The high school recruiting “area scouts” are trash rankings are all over the place for all four sites. Stars don’t mean shite. I’ll take our coaches evaluations over any recruiting sites. Especially love camp offers aka Stamps. Look how those always turn out.

I've been a Keys fan since I saw him play. I think he'll do really nice things here at LSU.

Keys is a great HS linebacker, but lacks the speed and size to be rated a 4/5 star. I think he will be a good linebacker for us and a great locker room guy.

FYI. Parker was not the best wr on his team last year.

Devin white came to LSU at 6'220#, he's now 6'237#. Not sure if Keys is as fast as White but he's as big.

Devin White is 5'11 at best.

I ran into him at Atlanta airport and he was a couple inches shorter than me. I'm 6'1

If you’re referring to Parker Livingstone, Kyle Parker had more catches, yards, and touchdowns than Livingstone.

So, he's a LBer, LSU seems to be having no issues anymore with bringing in quality LBers now. Before this, they kinda had a small issue with regards to bringing in LBers, but not anymore as the recruiting for LBers has picked up.

I could be wrong, but I thought they listed him at being around 5'11 for LSU when he was there. I thought they listed him at 5'11 and 240 1 time on his bio, with him being 260 1 time. But he slimmed down to 240 because he was quicker and faster at that weight, but still had the same power at 260.

He is one of the 6 3 stars that I believe will get their 4th star in the final rankings.
