His vison allows himself to explode through the hole and makes it difficult for defenders to react in time. He has a second gear once he gets to the second level that helps him outrun the defenders. His talent is intriguing and definitely someone to keep an eye on next season.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-658f467d947cb"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/13645020/6544190e689883045cca327b' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-658f467d94833"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["323923"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"u003culu003ern tu003cliu003e6-Footu003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003e180 Poundsu003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003eRunning Backu003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003eClass of 2025u003c/liu003ernu003c/ulu003ernKeller shows versatility out of the backfield in both catch and run situations.

His vision is on another level, finding any crease available that allows him to take it to the house. Not only is he good at running the ball, but he's also an excellent lead blocker for other ball carries or in the backfield in pass protection.

Good solid frame as a running back that allows him to consistently break through contact and get to the open space. On top of that frame, he has a great natural balance to stay up right from taking hits while making moves. Good agility and footwork with a second level burst that allows him to take it to the house. His name will be known by this time next season.rnu003culu003ern tu003cli style=u0022list-style-type: noneu0022u003eu003c/liu003ernu003c/ulu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-658f467d94a9a"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/settles_cameron/status/1733290870353354920","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/settles_cameron/status/1733290870353354920 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed -->
