Key is now medically cleared to play after recovering from an off-season shoulder surgery and a slipped disc injury in his back. However, both Key and the coaching staff have mutually agreed he will remain sidelined with a redshirt status for the remainder of the season.
“This year I decided to redshirt,” Key said. “I didn’t get cleared until early in January. This is a big year for me being that it’s my junior year. I didn’t want to waste it, so I decided to redshirt this year.”
