  Draft Scout by Conference









  Coach Ken Niumatalolo firmly stated Thursday that he feels good about the Navy football team one week before opening preseason practice. Niumatalolo, entering his 15th season helming the Midshipmen, based his assessment off what he saw throughout the offseason. Navy was forced to alter its normal routines in 2020 and 2021 because of the coronavirus pandemic. This offseason was back to normal. "I'm really excited about this team. I love what our players did during the offseason from January to now. They've been working really hard," Niumatalolo said during the American Athletic Conference football media day. "Just a selfless group that cares about one another. I'm really excited about the makeup of our football team." Apparently, outsiders don't have nearly as positive an outlook on the Midshipmen.

Navy was predicted to place 10th out of 11 teams in the AAC preseason media poll, which was released Thursday morning. Navy, coming off consecutive losing seasons, received 61 total votes - 10 less than ninth place South Florida. Temple, which finished 3-9 overall and 1-7 in the AAC last season, was picked last with just 28 votes. "I think a lot of it is based on the last two years and the way our record has been," Niumatalolo said. "We like being picked as the underdog." - Capital Times
