RoadRunners forward Herron makes NCAA commitment

The Texas Roadrunners Captain and Top Prospects forward Jack Herron has committed to play NCAA Division III hockey for New England College. Herron will join fellow line mate Tyler Love when the Pilgrims hit the ice for the 2023-2024 season.

Herron, 20, spent two seasons with the Roadrunners in the NA3HL after playing for the McKinney North Stars in the NAPHL.

The 5’9/165 lbs. native of Lake of the Hills, IL, amassed 100 points (45 goals, 56 assists) in 76 games in the NA3HL.  He was also selected to and played in the 2023 NA3HL Top Prospects Tournament for the South Division team and was drafted in the 2022 NAHL Draft by the Odessa Jackalopes.

“Jack was a great motivational player that had that never give up attitude.  He was our spark plug and could change a game with one shift.  I would have to say that Jack was one of the best two way players that I have ever coached and should fit well within Tom Carroll’s program at NEC,” stated Roadrunners Head Coach Mike Beavis.

Herron is the fourth NCAA commitment for the Roadrunners from the 2022-2023 season and may not be that last this off season as Coach Beavis has said he is fielding calls weekly from college coaches inquiring about his players.

The Roadrunners would like to wish all the best to their captain on his continued education and move to the NCAA hockey ranks.
