South Mississippi star running back named back-to-back 4A Mr. Football winner

The first prep football player in Mississippi history to score 100 career rushing touchdowns has been named 4A Mr. Football by the Mississippi High School Activities Association and the Mississippi Association of Coaches for the second year in a row. Poplarville running back Ty Keys claims the honor again during a senior season that has witnessed him find the end zone 31 times and counting. He’s rushed for over 1,600 yards and 28 touchdowns. The Miami commit has seven 100-yard rushing games, four 200-yard games and a season-high 345 yards and five scores against McComb. Keys has helped lead Poplarville to a region title and a 10-0 record that the Hornets are taking into the second round of the playoffs this week. He’s the first back-to-back winner in South Mississippi since former Ocean Springs standout Bray Hubbard did the same in 2021-22.
