And we need another RB because...? He plays both, RB and FB. Another FB for depth is good. C'Mon Rick, welcome him to the mesa. Welcome Connor.

Judging a FB on stats.... Judge him on the RB's stats in other words like judging Lorenzo Neal with LT 2006.

After watching the videos he obviously gained more than 115 yds. If he's walking on why would any one be against him, got size and some speed. RB>LB?

I like this pick up. Granted, I did not get to see him play, yet he sounds like a tough nosed player that may be well under every body's radar. Keith suffered a knee injury during his third game of his senior season and apparently did not get his doctor's release to resume playing football during the rest of the season. His father, John Keith, was a linebacker for USC back in the early 80's. Let's see what he can do on the scout team. In two or three years we may be wondering where this guy came from.

Looks to me like he was recruited as a football player in the TCU mold. Too many people ahead of you at RB? You might want to try a linebacker or safety position or become a special teams leader. Fight your way onto the three deep at any position and get rewarded with a scholarship.

Tangent on walk-ons - you think in this day and age of the measuring stick, we could get some 5'10-6'1' true nosemen in to help clog up the middle

Phil shed some light on it above. He had injury problems as a Senior.

Keith played through 3 games his senior season prior to a season-ending knee injury. He was a 2 way starter at LB/DE and FB and a team captain. His junior year he rushed for approx 1,000 yds with 16 tds (max preps) - leading all CA FBs and a team captain. He was heavily recruited prior to the senior year injury - SDSU was one of the few D1 schools that kept significant interest - word is that SDSU was always Keith's No 1 choice. This info is well-known in Nor-Cal - a number of articles on him in the Sacramento Bee, Nor-Cal Preps, etc, - he went under the radar after the injury. SDSU coaches, alums, fans will pleasantly surprised - he is an old-school hard-nosed gamer.

Despite some of the knee-jerk comments posted on here, we're happy to have Connor on board as an Aztec! ;D
