Introduction

Keith William McGill II (born March 9, 1989) is an American football safety for the Oakland Raiders of the National Football League (NFL). He was drafted by the Raiders in the fourth round of the 2014 NFL Draft. He played college football at Utah.

He played his freshman season at Cerritos College in 2009 as a free safety. He posted 30 tackles and five interceptions. In 2010, he led the team with seven interceptions and posted 37 tackles, earning himself Northern Conference Defensive Player of the Year, and was named to the first-team All-American by CCCFA following his sophomore season.

In 2011, his first season with the Utes, he played in five games as a safety before suffering an injury during the Arizona State game that forced him to miss the rest of the season. He missed the entire 2012 NCAA season due to lengthy, ongoing rehab of his shoulder surgery.
