Navy College Football Preview 2021: Top Players
Best Navy Offensive Player
RB Jamale Carothers, Sr.
Yeah, he’s a 5-9, 203-pound fullback, but he can fly. He’s got the ability to come up with a whole lot more than 358 yards and three touchdowns of last year. A killer around the goal line, he ran for 14 touchdowns and caught two scoring passes as a sophomore, averaging 6.6 yards per carry. Expect more 2019 than 2020.
2. QB Xavier Arline, Soph.
3. WR Michael Cooper, Sr.
4. C Pierce Banbury, Sr.
5. RB Chance Warren, Sr.

Best Navy Defensive Player
LB Diego Fagot, Sr.
The 6-3, 240-pounder is the heart-and-soul type for a team full of leaders. He followed up a 100-tackle sophomore season with 72 tackles, making 23 tackles for loss and 8.5 sacks over the last two years, too. He’s a big tackler with range, the timing to be one of the few Midshipmen who can get behind the line, and he doesn’t miss stops.
2. S Kevin Brennan, Sr.
3. LB John Marshall, Jr.
4. LB Tama Tuitele, Jr.
5. S Mitchell West, Sr.
