"Fired up to be bringing Ta'Ron back to his home state for one last year in front of his family and friends! His versatile style of play will be an added bonus to our offense and special teams," Golesh said.

Keith spent the previous four seasons at Bowling Green State University, but briefly transferred to Western Kentucky this offseason. Keith played high school football at Mainland High in DeLand, Florida.
