The 6-foot-4, 250-pound prospect can play on either side of the line, but the Scarlet Knights like him best as a defensive lineman right now.

Keeler only earned his Rutgers offer back in late April and he has been excited about the Scarlet Knights coaching staff ever since.

"I knew it was coming, but I am very excited," Keeler told The Knight Report after announcing the news. "Coach Panagos and I have been talking every day for over a year. He's my guy! I also really believe in what Coach Schiano is doing with the program."
