The Capital Region chapter of the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame has recognized a Colonie Central High School senior as a 2025 Scholar-Athlete. 

Jackson Bearup is one of more than 50 high school and college athletes from across the Capital Region to receive this honor. The Wolf Pack’s wide receiver and linebacker finished second on the varsity football team in total tackles and scored two touchdowns during the season. He also served as a member of the team’s Leadership Council.

“Jackson has been a tremendous leader for our program” said Bill Roemer, Supervisor of Athletics. “He consistently leads by example through his work ethic, character, and commitment both on and off the field.”

The South Colonie school community is proud of Jackson and congratulates him on this well-deserved honor.
