<p><strong>Case Keenum</strong> was born on February 17, 1988, in Brownwood, Texas, United States. His full name is <a href="/biography/case-keenum">Casey Austin Keenum</a>. He is the <a href="/biography/case-keenum">son</a> of Steven and Susan Keenum and spent most of his childhood in Abilene, Texas. Keenum is best known for his career as an American football quarterback.</p>

<h2>Early Life and Education</h2>

<p>Keenum attended Wylie High School in Abilene, Texas, where he was a multi-sport <a href="/biography/case-keenum">athlete</a>, participating in football, basketball, and track. As a quarterback for the Wylie Bulldogs, he gained recognition for his athletic ability and leadership on the field.</p>

<p>In 2004, Keenum led the Bulldogs to victory in the Class 3A Division I state championship by defeating Cuero High School. One of his standout plays included a 39-yard touchdown run, which played a crucial role in securing the state title for his team.</p>

<p>Following his impressive high school career, Keenum received attention from several college football programs, including the Baylor Bears, North Texas Mean Green, and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTEP_Miners_football">UTEP Miners</a>. However, only the University of Houston Cougars extended him a scholarship offer, which he accepted.</p>

<h2>College Football at the University of Houston</h2>

<p>Keenum began his college career at the University of Houston in 2006. He redshirted his freshman year to develop his skills and was later named the starting quarterback in 2007, debuting against the Oregon Ducks with 179 passing yards. In a subsequent game against Tulane, he threw for 183 yards and a touchdown, earning him NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision National Performer of the Week honors from CollegeSportsReport.com.</p>

<p>Keenum quickly became a central figure in the Cougars’ offense, starting in 13 games in the 2007 season. In 2008, he passed for more than 5,000 yards, joining only one other player in university history to achieve such a milestone. He also helped lead the Houston Cougars to a long-awaited bowl victory and was named the Conference USA Offensive Player of the Year.</p>

<p>In 2009, Keenum led the Cougars to a strong 10–4 season. However, his progress was halted in 2010 when he tore his anterior cruciate ligament during a game against UCLA, sidelining him for the rest of the year. Despite the injury, Keenum rebounded, and in 2011 he was once again named Conference USA Preseason Offensive Player of the Year. That October, he set an NCAA record by throwing nine touchdown passes in a single game.</p>

He later rejoined the Rams and contributed to three team victories in the 2015 season.</p>
