In this story:

72 new players have reported to Annapolis to officially begin their time as members of the Navy football program. Given that Navy does not bring in transfer portal players, all 72 join from the high school ranks.

Service academies typically bring in exceptionally large recruiting classes due for a variety of reasons, but many do not dress every game for the varsity team. Still, each are entering a proud tradition with the hopes of being a difference maker for Brian Newberry's squad. The full list of 72 is below.
