ANNAPOLIS, Md.—Navy football senior offensive lineman David Forney died Thursday night after being found unresponsive in Bancroft Hall. He was 22-years old.
Forney was a three-year letterwinner on the football team and played in 39-consecutive games over his final three years.
This year, Forney started all 13 games at guard for the Midshipmen and was the anchor of an offensive line that set a school record and led the nation in rushing, averaging 360.5 yards per game. Forney was extremely proud of being part of a senior class that authored the second-greatest turnaround in the history of FBS football as the Mids won a school-record tying 11 games, won the Commander-In-Chief's Trophy, shared the American Athletic Conference West Division title and won the Liberty Bowl.
