Hans & Scotty’s 2024 60 in 60 List
Throughout the summer, KSL Sports Zone’s Hans Olsen & Scott Garrard are counting down the top 60 college football players in the state of Utah as voted on by the media (and a fan ballot).
BYU’s Brayden Keim
Keim is a junior offensive lineman from Sandy, Utah.
After playing tight end and defensive end for Alta High School, Keim transitioned to a full-time offensive lineman for the Cougars.
He saw his first action in 2020, playing in three games. In 2021, he played in three games again with two starts.
Two legacy players along the OL to keep an eye on this season, Connor Pay & Brayden Keim.
Pay was excellent in the bowl game at center. Could be a starter at guard in 2021.

Keim’s time and production on the field really kicked up over the last two seasons. In 2022, he played in 10 games.
Last season, Keim played in 11 games with eight starts. Despite the BYU O-Line not having its best year, Keim played well in his first year in the Big 12.
The Cougars will have a lot of new faces next year, especially in the trenches. Expect Keim to have a big year in 2024.
