The Keenan saga continues. BJJ’s hottest prospect has left Team Lloyd Irvin and had many people wondering where he would go. Looks like it’s Atos BJJ under Andre Galvao where he will join former TLI Teamates Mike Fowler and Tracey Goodell…

Confirmed by GracieMag:

It’s official!

Keenan Cornelius just confirmed to GRACIEMAG.com that he will be training with Andre Galvão, the Mendes Brothers and will be competing at the upcoming Boston Open and Pan Championship under the flag of Atos JJ.

When asked, Keenan wrote: “I don’t know how officially joining a team works but I don’t really want to jump into another team without really getting a feel for the coach. For obvious reasons. I do still need to register for competitions so I am asking professor Galvao if I can do that for the Boston Open and Pan.”

Earlier this week, we have talked with Andre Galvão and Guilherme Mendes about the contact with Keenan.

Gui told us that it was Keenan who first got in touch: “I later called him and we talked a bit”, said Mendes, making sure that at that point (last Wednesday) nothing was 100% sure.

Galvão said almost the same thing: “He got in touch with me. I don’t know him personally very well but he seems to be an upright kid besides being obviously a very ggod athlete and competitor. If he complies with the rules of our team like everybody else, he will be very welcome to train with us.”
