Transfer LB Keenan Pili (BYU team captain)

[rocytop2624]

One

Sure ? Doesn't he have a covid year and senior year? Or a medical year?

 

[Walkman]

Had 62 Tackles this season

Coming off ACL injury, not a bad year. Hopefully he’s fully recovered and 100 percent by spring. He was on his way before he got hurt.

 

[Shadowboxer]

Jeremy Banks replacement.

 

[butchna]

Sure ? Doesn't he have a covid year and senior year?

Already factored in. Class of 2016 and no stats, so that was his redshirt year. 2017 and 2018 he served his Mormon mission. 2019 was his redshirt freshman season (1). 2020 was the Covid exception. 2021 only played 3 games, but he had already redshirted. (2). Just completed his third season of eligibility (3). He could apply for another season after this upcoming one, but since his first redshirt wasn't medically related, it's low odds the NCAA would approve, and I doubt he wants to be in college at 26.

 

[VolBricks]

2 questions
1) Is he here to replace Banks?
2) Can he play in the Orange bowl game?

For a million NIL why not.

For a million NIL why not.

Know something we don't?

 

[Putbacks]

Looks like he recorded 2 tackles against us in 2019 when BYU beat us in 2OT.

Dude from Oregon is on year 9? He!!, he's almost my age

Saw that...dude has perseverance. Back in the 90s, a Canes DE kept receiving a medical redshirt after blasting his knee out every season...he finally quit.

 

[Mccage]

Looks like Coach has dropped a few lbs.

 

[Volfan1000]

Welcome big guy!
Boooommmmm!!!

KKKKKKKKKKKKAAAAAAAAAABBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[dovervolz]

Jeremy Banks replacement.

Can he play in the bowl? We could use him

 

[kckempf]

Wants to dance...?

Dance is oddly enough something they definitely do in Utah. Incredible ballroom dance scene there.

Generally 2d year after ACL is back fully. See Saquon this year compared to last. Much more explosive

So he should be this year

 

[GVF]

Seems BYU always has that Polynesian Mormon connection. THose players are always extra tough and gritty.

 

[joevol33]

Boom

 

[KnoxRealtorVOL]

Hard not to see the similarities in Pili and Henry To'o To'o.

The main difference being Pili didn't get beat by Tennessee this year.

 

[ButchPlz]

This will be good. If he's coming in to replace Banks I'll take the very likely character upgrade gladly.

 

[Hopeful Vol]

Solid pickup and we need him. GBO

 

[ENGRVOL]

They both had the same number of wins (1) at Neyland Stadium for the month of September 2019

Understandable...

 

[DiderotsGhost]

BOOM!!!

LB has been one of my biggest concerns and getting Pili and Arion Carter in the same week is great to see!

 

[sjt18]

Jeremy Banks replacement.

Or maybe just a compliment to Banks. The two together would give UT a very good starting duo.
