TALKING WITH A LIBERTY LEGEND

/in /by

LIBERTY OH- A sign of a great program is when thr e players who graduate from it care enough to pour back in to it. For Liberty graduate Keith Forestal class of 2005, giving back to the program was never an issue. Keith is among the best players in the history of Liberty football. He was a member of the 2004 regional finalist team. He went on to play at the next level in Division 1 at Toledo. He was a part of the Rocket team that upset Michigan in the Big House 13-10. Now Forestal returns to Liberty to speak with the team and give them a message about what it takes to be great. He told them about the work ethic that got him where he is now, and will get the current players to meet their goals. The biggest advice he gives to players who strive to play at the next level is to just believe in themselves before anything else.

Keith was kind enough to join YSN’s Running Point this week to talk about his career and his memories in the Liberty program. Take the time to check out this conversation with a Liberty legend. Exclusively on YSN.
