The 6-foot-2, 217-pounder plays at Parker High School in Alabama and is ranked 1,331st nationally, 89th among running backs, and 50th in the state of Alabama via 247 Sports Composite. Keith is known as a powerful runner who uses every bit of his frame to plow through defenders and churn out tough yardage. He also plays linebacker on defense.
As a junior last season, Keith racked up 1,877 yards and 28 touchdowns on 190 runs (9.9 avg). Kentucky recently hosted him for an official visit in June and laid the foundation for this commitment to take place.
Keith becomes the program’s eighth pledge in 2023, joining TE Tanner Lemaster, ATH Ty Bryant, OT Malachi Wood, OT Austin Ramsey, ATH Kaden Moorman, EDGE Tommy Ziesmer, and WR Shamar Porter.

Just spoke with RB @KhalifaKeith2 and sounds like his OV went very well. Someone Kentucky is very interested in. Fits the mold of guys who have succeeded there lately.
