Southern Miss DL Zachariah Keith brings length, burst, and a proven pass-rush pedigree
Keith is a **6-foot-6, 280-pound** redshirt junior at Southern Miss with the frame and edge length teams want in a disruptive front-seven piece. His high school production was real—**188 career tackles and 20 sacks**—and his athletic profile in EA’s College Football ratings points to a defender with usable strength, quickness, and hit power. The bigger story is durability: he medically retired after an injury setback at West Virginia, then returned to football, so his fit hinges on health and consistency. If he stays on the field, he profiles as a physical, high-upside DL with legitimate pressure potential.[8][12][15][2][3]
