Last season, Key made 11 starts, hauling in a career-high 47 catches for 715 yards and two TDs. He had two 100-yard games last season, including seven catches for a career-high 145 yards against Ohio and a personal-best eight catches for 105 yards in a win over then No. 14 Ole Miss. He also had eight catches against Vanderbilt.
