UNLV football player Ryan Keeler has died, a source close to the team confirmed on Monday.
A Chicago native, Keeler transferred to UNLV from Rutgers last offseason. He appeared in seven games for the Scarlet and Gray during the 2022 campaign and totaled 8.0 tackles, including 1.0 tackles for loss.
UNLV has not yet commented on Keeler’s passing and the cause of death has not been released, but several teammates posted their condolences on social media.
Adam Plant, who was part of the defensive line group with Keeler, shared photos of Keeler on Twitter along with the message, “Long live Ryan Keeler gone way too soon.”
Aidan Robbins, a running back on last year’s team who has since transferred to BYU, shared similar sentiments on his Twitter: “Gone way too soon your name will live on 4L lil bro.”
Keeler was a business major at UNLV and maintained a GPA of 3.80, which earned him a spot on the Academic All-Mountain West team for the fall 2022 semester.
