Manatee's bye week came at a good time for Blake Keller.
The senior defensive end suffered bruised ribs after taking hit while playing special teams during Manatee's 44-34 win over Miami Central on Sept. 14.
Keller is back to contact this week and will play Friday when the Hurricanes head to Southeast.
"The bye week, I didn't do anything," he said. "And it just got better with time."
Keller sustained the hit during the third quarter against the Rockets. He left the game and was brought to Blake Medical Center for precautionary reasons.
Keller, who has committed to UCF, leads the team in sacks (2 1/2) and is tied for first in quarterback hurries (three). He also has 16 tackles, second on the team.
