Poplarville’s Ty Keys Named Class 4A Mr. Football for Second Straight Year

Poplarville running back Ty Keys continues to add to his impressive high school career, earning one of Mississippi’s highest individual football honors for the second consecutive year.

The four-star running back and Miami commit has officially been named Class 4A Mr. Football, making him a back-to-back recipient of the prestigious award.

Keys put together another standout senior season, rushing for 1,651 yards and scoring 30 touchdowns. Two weeks ago, he made even more history by breaking Mississippi’s state record for career rushing touchdowns.

But Keys isn’t finished making his mark. The standout running back is now chasing the state’s all-time total touchdown record.

Keys and the other Mr. Football recipients will be recognized by the Mississippi High School Activities Association and C Spire at a luncheon next Wednesday.

The latest honor adds another milestone to an already remarkable career for the Poplarville standout, who has established himself as one of the state’s top players.
