Auburn ‘getting a great player’ in Austin Keys, Ole Miss’ Cedric Johnson says

One of the more intriguing intra-SEC transfers this year is linebacker Austin Keys, who left Ole Miss and is now at Auburn.
Keys, a third-year junior with two seasons of eligibility remaining, started five games the last two seasons with the Rebels. He totaled 51 tackles in 23 games overall, along with 3.5 tackles for loss, two sacks, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery.
During his appearance at SEC Media Days Thursday in Nashville, Ole Miss defensive end Cedric Johnson was asked about what kind of impact Keys might have at Auburn. He gave glowing reviews.
“They’re getting a great player, a really great player,” Johnson said. “I really like Austin a lot. He’s a good friend, we came in together (as freshmen). … He moves well, he’s fast. They’re going to have a good time with him.”
The 6-foot-2, 233-pound Keys is expected to compete for a starting job at middle linebacker for the Tigers this season. Auburn linebackers coach Josh Aldridge said during spring practice “Austin Keys has been everything I thought he’d be.”
