Keith is a late bloomer due to a late growth spurt. He lined up at middle linebacker for the Hurricanes. He’s an explosive downhill runner and a violent striker. When he blitzes, he explodes through the gap and blows up blockers. He has the speed to run down the alley and make plays on the edge. With Jesse’s length and athleticism, I think he could easily move outside and play in space and play on the edge and rush the quarterback. Keith’s versatility and traits make him a really target for any team looking to add talent to their linebacker room.

Hard hitting linebacker with good size and lateral movement, Keith displays good characteristics desired in a typical FBS/FCS linebacker. Has good closing speed and has some thump.

Keith is a player who exploded onto my radar early in the 2024 season. He plays mike linebacker for the Hurricanes. Jesse is an explosive athlete who has the speed to play sideline to sideline. When he takes on blockers, he shows off lateral movement to sidestep and the ability to dip and bend to avoid them. In the run game he takes good pursuit angles and runs plays down. Between the tackles he plays with good pad level and is a violent striker. He shows excellent to time and shoot the gap when blitzing in the pass game. Jesse is a late bloomer who’s grown a couple of inches in the last year. Pretty impressing to put down the kind of film he has all while hitting that kind of growth spurt. As he continues to fill out and get stronger, I could really see him explode onto recruiting radars over this next offseason and fall of his senior season.
