Keene High School quarterback Tanner Boucher signed a National Letter of Intent to play football at Army on Thursday during a news conference at the Cheshire Career Center Conference Room at Keene High School.

"This is something I have looked forward to," Boucher said. "The chance to play college football and to play for (Army coach Stan Brock). I really want to thank Coach (John) Luopa and my teammates at Keene High for helping make this possible. I especially would like to thank my Pop Warner coach, Linwood Patnode (a current Keene High assistant). If it wasn't for him I might still be playing soccer."

Boucher established Keene High School records for touchdown passes (20) and yards passing (just under 2,000) last season.

Boucher's family has an athletic history. His father, Keith Boucher, is the women's basketball coach at Keene State College and played both football and baseball at Plymouth State. His grandfather is the late Lang Metcalf, a longtime boys basketball coach at Lebanon High School.

Boucher is the fourth Keene High School player to earn a Division I scholarship in the last 35 years, joining Charlie Johnson (Boston University in 1995), Troy Wilkes (University of Iowa in 1987) and John Bosa (Boston College in 1982).
