Rhode Island’s rising special-teams ace with All-CAA buzz
Dillon Keough enters the 2026 season as a 6'3", 210-pound redshirt sophomore long snapper for Rhode Island, and the hype is real: he was named to Phil Steele’s preseason FCS All-America Second Team and All-CAA First Team, while the conference also recognized him for strong academics in 2026. He preserved a redshirt as a freshman, trained with URI special-teams coach Crisanti, and profiles as a steady, high-trust snapper with enough polish to earn national attention. If you value reliability, consistency, and a player who quietly makes the kicking game hum, he’s a fit.
