Colorado's top 2025 running back and Fort Collins football star Jack McKeon announced his commitment to in-state Air Force for his college career.
Colorado's top rusher in the 2025 high school football season finally has his college football home.
Fort Collins running back Jack McKeon committed to in-state Air Force on Feb. 2.
McKeon told the Coloradoan he plans to make it official and sign with the Falcons on Feb. 4 when the signing period opens.
"My dream of playing college football has come true, and I am extremely grateful and honored," McKeon said as part of a social media post announcing the decision.
McKeon led all of Colorado with 2,197 rushing yards (7.3 yards per carry) and 29 total touchdowns last fall, leading Fort Collins to a 9-3 record and the program's second playoff win in the past decade.
He had over 3,700 total yards and 53 TDs across his final two high-school seasons as one of Colorado's most prolific players.
But McKeon wasn't even rated on any recruiting sites and only had Division I offers from Army and Air Force, visiting each over the past two weeks.
McKeon said that Air Force is looking at him as a "super back," a fullback/featured back hybrid in its triple option/flexbone offense.
That should be a great fit for McKeon, a 5-foot-10, 205-pound bulldozer who runs with a shifty but powerful style through would-be tacklers.
McKeon finished his prep career in style, posting 11 100-plus yard games in his senior year and setting a Fort Collins record with 370 rushing yards in a playoff win over ThunderRidge.
