Navy Midshipmen: Vegas Win Total- 7
I am not running to the bank with a ticket on this line either, especially considering Navy is coming off of an 11-win season, but they are much more likely to return to 3-10 mark from the 2018 season than repeat last season’s efforts. Finding a quarterback to run this unique offense is critical and head coach Ken Niumatalolo was given no favors by the COVID-19 situation. The defense is also not ideal on the line or in the backfield. Prediction: Under 7
Top Prospects:
Diego Fagot, ILB, 6-3, 240 pounds, Jr.: Few players exploded on the scene like Fagot last season and he finished the year as the team leader in tackles with 100 and second in tackles for loss with 12 and sacks with 5.5. The All-AAC selection will be looking to build off the momentum he built as a sophomore.
Jamale Carothers, RB, 5-9, 203 pounds, Jr.: Playing the crucial fullback spot for the Midshipmen, the All-AAC selection is dynamic with the ball in his hands and like Fagot broke out somewhat unexpectedly. Navy is one of the few FBS teams with a junior varsity roster and this is where Carothers started his 2019 season, before being promoted to starting on Saturdays and finishing the season second on the team with 734 rushing yards and 14 touchdowns.
Billy Honaker, OT, 6-3, 282 pounds, Sr.: One of the few bright spots on a weak looking offensive line, Honaker is one of only two returning starters on the line and will look to build upon his All-AAC performance from 2019.
