— -- Keenan Reynolds' future as the Navy quarterback consists of one more game, the Military Bowl presented By Northrop Grumman matchup with Pittsburgh on Monday afternoon.

He'll conclude a record-setting career with the Midshipmen and admittedly isn't sure what his football future holds. He'd like to think there's a place somewhere in the NFL for a guy who's scored more touchdowns (85) than anybody to have ever played in the FBS ranks.

Even if there's not, Reynolds has the kind of future in front of him that most of us could only dream about. An international relations major, Reynolds' two favorite classes during the fall semester at Navy were National Security Decision Making in the Cyber Age and Politics in Irregular Warfare. His first preference for his post-graduate service assignment was information warfare, and Reynolds got it -- just like he gets most things he sets his mind to.

"I sleep well at night knowing the future of our country is OK if we keep young men like Keenan in leadership positions," said David Turner, who coached Reynolds in high school at Goodpasture Christian School in Madison, Tennessee.

Indeed, Reynolds' options will be endless. He's unsure where he will be deployed when he graduates in May and admits he's a bit nervous about going into the fleet as an officer and leading more experienced men and women. And if he gets a shot at pro football, would he be in a position to juggle it all?
