After a prep profession in which he added up to in excess of 3,300 yards and pulled in 33 scores, Keyton picked Tennessee over Reddish-brown, Penn State, Ole Miss, Florida, Georgia, Clemson and others, yet he had sparingly as impact of a stacked wide collector room as a green bean in 2019.
(That was the point at which the Vols had future NFL wideouts in Jauan Jennings, Marquez Callaway and Joshua Palmer, in addition to redshirting senior Brandon Johnson and redshirt first year recruit Cedric Tillman). Keyton sprung up with a 41-yard get in the success against Mississippi State and got two passes for 60 yards in a beginning for the suspended Jennings in the TaxSlayer Gator Bowl, however didn’t do much else behind the Jennings-Callaway-Palmer threesome.

Keyton began multiple times during the pandemic-affected 2020 season, however got only nine passes for 76 yards and didn’t play in the last three rounds of Tennessee’s hopeless three-win season. He got only seven passes for 72 yards as a hold in 2021.Through three seasons, Keyton added up to only 20 gets on 39 focuses for 252 yards.
He went into the 2022 season as a reinforcement with Tennessee focusing on Tillman falling off his breakout season and move Bru McCoy as its beginning wideouts, however Tillman’s lower leg injury in the third round of the time constrained Keyton into the beginning setup and he conveyed generally. His full-expansion jumping get for a 43-yard gain not long before halftime was important for a game-swinging score drive in the success against Florida, and he had five gets for 78 yards in the success against Alabama and got two score passes against UT Martin. Keyton covered the season with four gets for 76 yards and the game-fixing 46-yard score in the Orange Bowl triumph against Clemson.
In the event that the 2022 season was about the plays Keyton made, last season was about the plays he didn’t as Tennessee’s passing game needed proficiency and touchiness. Keyton actually set vocation highs in gets and yards, drove the Vols with six score gets and arrived at the midpoint of 18.3 yards per get (third-best in the SEC), yet he got only 35 of 63 targets and, per Master Football Concentration, had four drops and gotten only four of 11 challenged targets. Keyton got three passes or less in nine of 13 games, however he had scores in three straight early-season games (Austin Peay, Florida and UTSA) and went off for four gets for 122 yards and two scores in his last game in Neyland Arena.
