The reasons why Brayden Keim is expected to be BYU’s next NFL tackle… Details
PROVO — Several variables surround the vital improvements needed along BYU’s offensive front for the 2024 season with the overall play and health of senior offensive tackle Brayden Keim front and center.
Keim is anticipated to lock down one of the critical tackle positions; and based on the pretext provided over the past two seasons, the 6-foot-9, 315-pound Alta High product should be set for marked improvement.
Keim had the opportunity to start last season and acquitted himself nicely in making starts at both tackle positions where he graded out well. According to Pro Football Focus, Keim saw 663 snaps in 12 games and warranted a 69.7 overall grade last season with a superb 83.8 mark in pass-blocking
“He’s 6-foot-9, so he’s a massive, massive offensive tackle,” said PFF’s Max Chadwick in a radio interview on ESPN 960. “So he graded out really well in pass (protection). He graded at 83.8 there, which I’d imagine puts him among the top 25 in the country, which is really good, obviously.”
