Continuing the Legacy of Kief

You may recall the post from July 12^th titled, Congratulations to Derek Kief and His Family (and Fascinating Discovery).  In that post we revealed that Derek’s stepfather, Adrick Ceasar (formally Adrick Harrison) was an amazing wide receiver for Furman University from 1992-1995.  In this post, we will crack open a time capsule exposing the football legacy of Kief.

1970 Elder Football Team

The legacy of Kief began with Pat Kief, Derek’s grandfather.  Pat played in the very same league that his grandson plays in today, the Greater Catholic League (GCL).  Branded with #71 on his back and purple blood pumping through his veins, he was an offensive lineman for the Elder Panthers. 

Congratulations to Derek Kief and His Family (and Fascinating Discovery)

Derek had to leave early from Ohio State's football camp on June 22nd to fly to Georgia to attend his mother and stepfather's second wedding reception.  Derek's mother Kelly married Adrick Ceasar on March 10th in Cincinnati, Ohio.  Upon further digging in to their private lives (people love that), we uncovered a fascinating discovery.  There isn't just one talented WR in the household.

Adrick Ceasar, formally Adrick Harrison was an amazing WR for D1 Furman University from 1992-1995.  As of the end of Furman's 2011 season, Adrick still holds many impressive rankings.  He is ranked #8 for career touchdown receptions, #9 for career receptions and #15 for career receiving yards.

Congratulations to Derek, Kelly and Adrick.  This family has talent and we look forward to continuing to follow Derek on his journey.
