The Cheez-It Citrus Bowl will be the final game of Tennessee receiver Ramel Keyton’s collegiate career. The fifth-year senior is out of eligibility and will begin preparing for the NFL Draft after Monday’s matchup.
While Keyton hopes to end his collegiate career with a bang on the field, he’s ending his collegiate career with a new hair style.
Keyton showed off his Cheez-It themed haircut for the Cheez-It Citrus Bowl on his Instagram on Friday. It’s quite the look.

Keyton was mostly a reserve receiver for Tennessee during his first three years in Knoxville before stepping into a larger role during the 2022 season when Cedric Tillman missed four games in the middle of the season with an ankle injury. The Atlanta native also started in the regular season finale against Vanderbilt and the Orange Bowl against Clemson.

During his breakout senior season, Keyton caught 31 passes for 562 yards and five touchdowns and made a number of critical catches, particularly in Tennessee’s late September win over Florida.
Moving into a full-time starting role during the 2023 season, Keyton had struggles much like the rest of Tennessee’s offense. Keyton’s most notable struggles were in dropped touchdown passes against Virginia and Texas A&M. Still, Keyton caught 32 passes for 591 yards and six touchdowns in 12 regular season games.
Keyton will look to end his college career on a positive note with his new haircut. Kickoff between Tennessee and Iowa for the Cheez-Iy Citrus Bowl is at 1 p.m. ET on New Years Day.
