Chuckie Keeton will be Utah State's quarterback in 2015.
Keeton was granted a fifth year of eligibility by the NCAA on Friday after knee injuries derailed his 2013 and 2014 seasons.
He tore his left ACL and MCL against BYU in October of 2013. Keeton missed the rest of the season but was able to return for the 2014 season, which was his senior year. However, he reinjured the knee early in the season against Wake Forest and was not cleared to return. He missed the rest of the season as Utah State cycled through quarterbacks.
Keeton burst onto the scene in 2012 as one of the better quarterbacks in the country. He was a first-team All-WAC selection that season when he threw for 3,373 yards, 27 touchdowns and nine interceptions. He also ran for 619 yards and eight touchdowns.
Before his injury in 2013, Keeton had thrown for 18 touchdowns against just two interceptions while completing nearly 70 percent of his passes.
Utah State finished 10-4 in 2014 and beat UTEP in the New Mexico Bowl.
