Kyle McKeen
Versatility has been Kyle McKeen’s trademark for Northwestern. During the first half of his senior season and the throughout his junior year, McKeen has shown an array of all-around skills.
Last week’s game was a good example. McKeen, a wide receiver and defensive back, had three receptions, including touchdown catches of 13 and 14 yards while helping the Wildcats to a 48-7 victory. He also returned a punt 54 yards for a score in the game.
In Northwestern’s 26-19 victory over Girard Sept. 14, McKeen showed two other aspects of his game. He had a crucial interception in the end zone on the final play. Earlier in that game, he completed a 44-yard touchdown pass to quarterback Grant Panko. It was the second consecutive year that McKeen has thrown a TD pass to Panko.
Through four games, McKeen has eight receptions for 162 yards — a 20.3-yard average — and four touchdowns. His contributions have been a key reason why Northwestern is off to a 3-1 start.
