Zach Abey is the absolute epitome of a Navy football player. Abey is extremely selfless, always puts the team first and does whatever he is told.
Proof that all that is true came during the offseason when Abey willingly agreed to switch to wide receiver despite posting the second-highest single-season rushing total in Navy football history while playing quarterback in 2017.
Typical of his personality, Abey dove head-first into learning how to play a new position at the highest level of college football. Navy’s wide receivers not only have to run precision passing routes and catch the football, but also must block at a very high level.
