Stanford lands a commitment from disruptive EDGE Keysaun Eleazer

Raleigh (NC) Southeast Raleigh edge rusher Keysaun Eleazer announced his commitment to Stanford on Tuesday.

The 6-foot-5, 205-pound Eleazer chose to play for the Cardinal program over his other top schools in Florida State, Georgia Tech, Tennessee and Virginia Tech.

“The chance to play at a high level while gaining a top and very prestigious diploma,” Eleazer said. “As well as a chance to come in and be a program changer and help getting them back to how it was when they competed in the Pac 12.”

Eleazer is coming off a terrific junior season where he racked up 81 tackles including 21 stops for loss, 13.5 sacks and 18 more quarterback hurries. He forced five fumbles and had an interception.

Tabbed as the nation’s No. 46 edge rusher, Eleazer becomes commit No. 16 for Stanford in the 2026 class.

“They run the defense that I believe will showcase my skills and versatility and help me get to the next level,” Eleazer said.

Eleazer boasts a 4.3 GPA. Defensive coordinator Bobby April III was his lead recruiter for Stanford. Other programs that offered included North Carolina, NC State, Ohio State, Georgia, USC and South Carolina.
