Keyes was the highest ranked prospect in our 2027 rankings in attendance and he lived up to that reputation. One of the most skilled forwards in Ohio, Keyes can do a lot with the ball in his hands at his size. Despite being a bigger bodied kid, Keyes has nimble feet and used the euro step to score around his defender multiple times in transition. Also a good shooter from the outside, Keyes knocked down a handful of 3-pointers off the dribble as well. One of the top players in Ohio's 2027 class, Keyes will make a big impact at St Thomas Aquinas in Louisville this season.
