Aztecs’ Keith Ismael selected in fifth round of the 2020 NFL Draft, 156th overall

San Diego State junior center Keith Ismael was highly regarded as the first (or only) SDSU player to be taken off the board in the 2020 NFL Draft.

Saturday morning, that became true.

Ismael was selected by the Washington Redskins with the 156th pick in the fifth round on the third day of the draft.

He enters the scene as the third center on the roster alongside former Wyoming offensive lineman Chase Roullier and Ross Pierschbacher.

Ismael will now compete against Roullier and Pierschbacher to protect Redskins second-year quarterback Dwayne Haskins this upcoming 2020 season.
