Keeler became as much of a celebrity in Delaware as Raymond. He was named "Delawarean of the Year" in 2004 by "Delaware Today" magazine and was listed as one of the top college football recruiters in the nation by "American Football Monthly" magazine. "The (Wilmington) News Journal" reported that Keeler was forced to hire an agent after the 2003 championship to help manage speaking engagements, guest appearances and private functions. His trademark sunglasses (which he also wore during night games) and wireless headgear were emulated with K.C. Keeler bobbleheads sold at games and local Newark, Delaware businesses.
