On Saturday night, BYU kicks off the 2024 season against the Southern Illinois Salukis. One of BYU's most important commits, quarterback Nolan Keeney, will be in attendance for the game.Keeney committed to BYU back in June. He picked the Cougars over competing scholarship offers from Houston, Boise State, Nevada, San Diego State, Colorado State, Utah State, and a handful of FCS programs.
His offer came at a significant time. Prior to the Keeney offer, every quarterback that BYU had offered in the 2025 class had committed to another school. With no more players on the board, BYU's offensive staff was patient and deliberate before deciding which quarterback to offer next. Keeney, a native of Portland, Oregon, was the quarterback that rose to the top of the list and became BYU's top priority.Keeney has ideal size at 6'4 and 215 pounds.
Whether it was Keeney or another quarterback, BYU had to get the quarterback position right in the 2025 class. BYU's 2025 class needs not only a quarterback, but a quarterback that can become a starter over the next few years at BYU. Time will tell if Nolan Keeney can become that guy for BYU, but it's hard to disagree with BYU's strategy in this circumstance. For one, Keeney is the top LDS quarterback in the 2025 recruiting class. Second, he holds competing offers from a handful of programs that have had a lot of success at quarterback. Third, he was very productive when healthy as a junior.Casey Lundquist is the publisher and lead editor of Cougs Daily. He has covered BYU athletics for the last four years.
