Keith Larson was added to the Bucknell football staff as a wide receivers coach on February 28, 2019. He was elevated to special teams coordinator in November 2020 and switched to defensive backs coach ahead of the 2022 campaign.

Larson was on the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute staff since the spring of 2016. Originally the defensive backs coach, he was promoted to special teams coordinator ahead of spring practice in 2018. Over the course of his final two seasons in Troy, the Engineers went a combined 18-5 (8-2 Liberty League) and won two Liberty League titles. As Liberty League champions, they qualified for the NCAA Division III Championship each year; in 2018, they advanced to the NCAA quarterfinals for the second time in program history.

Before his time at RPI, Larson worked with the defensive backs at Robert Morris University (Ill.) as a graduate assistant coach for the 2014 and 2015 campaigns. There, he worked closely with the defensive coordinator, helping the Eagles finish 8-3 in 2014.

Larson also has experience in football operations, serving as RPI’s director of football operations and Robert Morris’s football operations graduate assistant in addition to his coaching duties. At Robert Morris, he also worked as an athletic admissions and financial aid counselor.

During his collegiate playing days, Larson was a three-year letterwinner at Valparaiso University. A safety, he also served as special teams captain. He graduated from Valparaiso in 2014 with a degree in business management and completed his master’s in sports administration from Robert Morris in 2015.
