Croucher has transferred to Baylor School in Tennessee for his senior season this fall. He spent the last two seasons atĀ Cheshire AcademyĀ (Conn.).
As a junior for Cheshire, Croucher played nine games and threw for 1,692 yards and 16 touchdowns to six interceptions, according toĀ MaxPreps. The Cats went 7-3 this fall and finished as the No. 7 team in Connecticut, per theĀ Massey Ratings.
That followed an impressive sophomore campaign where Croucher threw for 2,052 yards and 20 touchdowns to three picks. He averaged 228 yards per game and also rushed for a score. Croucher emerged as a freshman in his lone season atĀ Fonda-FultonvilleĀ (N.Y.), his hometown school, throwing for nearly 3,000 yards and 31 TDs.
Croucher is the No. 148 overall prospect and No. 13 QB in the 2027 cycle, according to theĀ Rivals Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all major recruiting media companies. According to the Rivals300, heās the No. 50 recruit and No. 4 QB in the nation.
He committed to Ole Miss back in October and remains locked in with the SEC program despite the coaching staff overhaul. The likes of Kentucky, Oregon and Penn State have remained involved in his recruitment.
After rising up the recently-updated Rivals300, Croucher drew high praise from Rivals Director of Scouting and Rankings Charles Power:
āKeegan Croucher looks like one of the more physically-gifted 2027 quarterback prospects. At 6-foot-4, 200 pounds, he has big-time arm talent with textbook pliability within his throwing motion. Heās also a quality athlete with translatable movement skills. Croucher is an interesting story: heās originally from upstate New York and was a three-sport star, leading his high school to a state title appearance as a freshman. He transferred Cheshire Academy as a sophomore and has played two nine game schedules in a situation that is not conducive to posting gaudy production. Croucher has transferred to emerging national powerhouse Chattanooga (Tenn.) Baylor School, and we wouldnāt be surprised to see him blow up as a senior.ā
