Throughout last season, Navy football was unable to get one quarterback to execute the triple-option offense at an acceptable level.
After 15 productive spring practices, head coach Ken Niumatalolo and offensive coordinator Ivin Jasper suddenly feel they have three signal-callers capable of leading the Midshipmen to victory.
Current freshmen Xavier Arline and Tai Lavatai emerged from spring camp tied atop the depth chart, and the tight competition will continue into August training camp. Rising junior Maasai Maynor is not far behind the two plebes and has the talent to overtake them during preseason practice, Jasper said.
“The way I look at it is that we have three guys that we can go out and win a football game with,” Jasper said.
