Elite Mississippi high school RB, Miami commit scores in all ways in lopsided win

Miami commit Ty Keys posted video game-like numbers in Poplarville's (MS) win over Picayune.

Ty Keys, a highly regarded running back from Poplarville High School in Mississippi, recently committed to play for Miami and led his team to a dominant 42-15 victory over Picayune. In just the first five games of the season, Keys has already scored an impressive 18 total touchdowns, nearly two-thirds of all Poplarville's offensive yards.

The sophomore's impact has been nothing short of extraordinary for the 5-0 Hornets. He ran for two long touchdowns of 73 and 63 yards, showcasing his incredible speed and agility. Keys also showcased his passing skills, lofting a 25-yard touchdown to tight end Aaron Graham. In a pivotal moment, Key's experience proved invaluable when Picayune failed to defend a wildcat play, allowing Keys to sprint for another big score.

Add to that, Poplarville's other star, sophomore Kayden Bradford, lived up to his nickname "Speedy" with three touchdown performances of his own, scoring 18, 59, and 48 yards. Bradford, despite his diminutive size at 5-foot-9, has already made a significant impact, rushing for 227 yards and two touchdowns in just four games. With the performance on Friday, Bradford essentially doubled his season output. The next matchup for Poplarville will be a home game against McComb.
