Overview
- Ty Keys, a four-star 2027 running back from Poplarville High School in Mississippi, chose Miami on Friday over Florida State and Ole Miss.
- He said Miami's offense, the strength of its offensive line, and trust in head coach Mario Cristobal and position coach Matt Upshaw drove the decision.
- Keys is ranked No. 197 overall and No. 11 at running back in the Rivals Industry Ranking for the 2027 class.
- The pledge lifted Miami's 2027 class back into the Rivals Industry top-10, adding a productive back to a group headlined by five-star receiver Nick Lennear and quarterback Israel Abrams.
- For Florida State, the miss followed quarterback target Wonderful Monds IV picking Notre Dame earlier Friday, with the Seminoles now pivoting to other backs scheduled for summer visits.
