Nelson Smith ran for a career-high 157 yards and two touchdowns and Navy defeated East Carolina 27-23 on Saturday. Smith, a senior, bested his career high for the second straight game after gaining 120 yards in a win over Temple last week. Jamale Carothers added 82 yards and another score for the Midshipmen (3-2, 3-0 American). Rahjai Harris, who rushed for 115 yards the week before, had career highs with 172 yards and an 80-yard TD for the Pirates (1-3, 1-2). ECU freshman Mason Garcia made his first start in place of Holton Ahlers, who, along with a handful of other Pirates, had to sit following COVID-19 contract tracing. - AP College Football

Working on a defense that was without five regular starters, Adams came up with the game's biggest defensive play as he knocked aside what would have been the game-tying two-point conversion with 1:02 remaining, allowing the Midshipmen to improve to 2-0 in The American. - American Athletic Conference Football

Former Navy football standout Malcolm Perry is doing his part to combat coronavirus. Perry, who is now a member of the Miami Dolphins, acknowledged this week that he contracted and recovered from COVID-19. The Tennessee native, who reported to the Dolphins team facility on Monday, participated in a team initiative aimed at helping others recover from the virus. Perry was among several Miami players that donated blood plasma as part of a partnership with Baptist Health South Florida. "I was surprised initially but was happy because I was presented with the opportunity to give back and donate plasma and help people in need," Perry said during a video posted to the team website. "Being able to give back to people who weren't fortunate enough to react the same way you did to the virus and give back to the community was important." - Capital Times

2020 BRONKO NAGURSKI TROPHY PRESEASON WATCH LIST: LB Diego Fagot, Navy,...Fagot is one of six players from the American Athletic Conference on the watch list joining Darrick Forest of Cincinnati, Richie Grant of UCF, Ifeanyi Maijeh of Temple, Aaron Robinson of UCF and James Wiggins of Cincinnati. Fagot, who is also on the watch list for the Bednarik Award and was named a preseason Third Team All-American by Phil Steele, is coming off a dominant sophomore campaign that saw him start all 13 contests for a Navy team that finished 11-2, won the Commander-In-Chief's Trophy and beat Kansas State in the Liberty Bowl. The Mids finished the year ranked 20th in both polls. A big part of Navy's success last year was the defense as the Mids improved in nearly every defensive category, including third down defense (121st to 20th), rushing defense (90th to 10th), total defense (86th to 16th) and scoring defense (103rd to 34th). - Navy Football

05/25/20 - Malcolm Perry, Sr/2020, Navy, 5-09, 186 (DS#22 RB) + More +

As expected, former football standout Malcolm Perry was not commissioned as part of the Naval Academy commencement ceremonies held over the past couple weeks. Perry, who was selected by the Miami Dolphins in the seventh round of the NFL Draft, attended his assigned swearing-in event on May 20 but was not commissioned as a Marine Corps officer. The Naval Academy conducted five private commissioning ceremonies over the span of 10 days with the senior class being divided into groups of 200. Sitting in socially distanced chairs set up in Tecumseh Court, the Class of 2020 graduates officially became Navy ensigns or Marine Corps second lieutenants.

Perry, the record-setting starting quarterback on the Navy football team, graduated with his class and received a degree in quantitative economics. However, the Tennessee native did not take the oath of office or sign the required paperwork to become a Marine Corps officer, according to Naval Academy public affairs officer Commander Alana Garas. Perry is hoping to become the first service academy athlete to benefit from a new Department of Defense policy that allows them to pursue professional sports immediately after graduation. - Capital Times

05/21/20 - Michael McMorris, Sr/2022, Navy, 5-08, 173 (DS#116 CB) + More +

Navy football's ongoing saga with the NCAA transfer portal has taken another turn as a second player in the span of a week has changed his mind about leaving the academy. Cornerback Michael McMorris has decided to pull his name out of the transfer portal and remain at the Naval Academy for the 2020-2021 school year. McMorris has been reinstated to Navy's official roster, and an athletic department spokesman confirmed he is part of the team. The Capital reported in mid-March that McMorris had entered the transfer portal and he seemingly confirmed the news himself by posting a link to the story to his Twitter feed. Having just completed his sophomore year of school, McMorris could have left the Naval Academy without penalty.

McMorris has completed the spring semester at the academy and the coaching staff is hopeful he will be eligible to play during the upcoming season, whenever that is held. "I think Mikey went through a rough patch and was struggling with some of the same things every midshipman struggles with," Navy defensive coordinator Brian Newberry said on Thursday. "I always thought there was a chance Mikey would stay, and I'm really glad he did. He's a really good football player and will help win football games." McMorris made the decision to remain at the academy one week after safety Chelen Garnes elected to leave. The Capital reported last week that Garnes, who played in all 13 games as a freshman, reentered the transfer portal. - Capital Times

04/18/20 - Malcolm Perry, Sr/2020, Navy, 5-09, 186 (DS#22 RB) + More +

Malcolm Perry has done everything in his power to position himself as a National Football League prospect. Unfortunately, due to the impacts of the coronavirus pandemic, Navy's record-setting quarterback was not able to do as much as planned to impress scouts and general managers. Perry was supposed to audition for NFL teams during the Navy Pro Day on March 25. That was canceled after the Naval Academy announced the Brigade of Midshipmen would not be returning to campus following spring break. Perry, 5-foot-9 and 190 pounds, had also been invited to attend combines held by the Philadelphia Eagles, Baltimore Ravens, Washington Redskins and Tennessee Titans at each organization's respective facilities, and there were some other NFL franchises that planned to send scouts to the Naval Academy to conduct a private workout. All those sessions were canceled.

There is no telling how the inability to scrutinize Perry more closely will impact the decision-making of general managers going into the NFL Draft, which begins on Thursday. "It's definitely frustrating to miss out on opportunities to get in front of NFL teams and show what I can do," Perry told Baltimore Sun Media this week. "Hopefully, the scouts have seen enough to have a good idea of who I am and what I am capable of as a player." - Capital Times

Perry capped his career in the Liberty Bowl rushing for 213 yards and 28 carries in Navy's 20-17 win over Kansas State.
