Jack Kenneff, a standout quarterback and right‑handed pitcher from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, has pledged to join the Maine Black Bears, where he will compete in both football and baseball.
A Dual‑Sport Commitment at Maine
The high school senior reclassified to the Class of 2027 and officially decommitted from Quinnipiac University’s baseball program, citing the unique opportunity to pursue two collegiate sports at Maine.
Kenneff expressed appreciation for the flexibility shown by the Black Bears’ coaching staff, noting that their willingness to accommodate a dual‑sport schedule was a decisive factor in his decision.
Before arriving in Orono, he will spend a preparatory year at The Hill School in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, a boarding institution known for its athletic development and academic rigor.
The Lancaster native listed Bills quarterback Josh Allen and Pirates pitcher Paul Skenes among his role models, drawing inspiration from their versatility and success at the highest levels of their respective sports.
Coaches at Maine anticipate that Kenneff’s arm strength and football IQ could add a new dimension to their programs, while his commitment underscores the growing appeal of the university’s athletic offerings to elite multi‑sport talent.
