Navy's Bernie Sarra has come a long way from the 2011 Greensburg Catholic High School kid who lettered in football, track and field, and basketball. Sarra joined the Naval Academy in the fall of 2012 after spending a year at the Naval Academy Prep School. In his first season with the Mids, Sarra appeared in eight games and earned a varsity letter but knew he needed to step up and make a bigger difference in his remaining years of eligibility.
During the summer before his sophomore season Sarra lost nearly 50 pounds and got quicker, stronger, and more technically sound.
