Freshman Blake Keller solidified himself on the Knight’s defensive line against Memphis, recording two sacks in his first career start. However, Keller will not be able to start again against Louisville this coming Friday.
On Monday, UCF Head Coach George O’Leary announced that Keller told him, “I don’t love football anymore.”
Keller had been having a stellar freshman season so far, recording eight total tackles and three sacks which made him the overall team leader. To George O’Leary, the news of Keller leaving the team came as a shock.
“I was surprised, I had no idea anything was going on, none of the coaches did either. A lot of it stemmed from other issues,” O’Leary said during his press conference.
On a brighter side, the Knights have shown a lot of depth at the defensive end position. Deion Green, Thomas Niles, and Seyvon Lowry should all get a chance to lead the Knight’s defensive line as they take on Louisville.
