Coach Ken Niumatalolo heard Chase Parrish had gotten banged up and might have to miss Navy football practice.
It’s commonplace for Navy football players to stop into the training room to have various ailments treated. However, it is extremely rare for a member of the scout team to do so.
“Chase wanted to get healthy so he could get out there and give the defense a great look,” marveled Niumatalolo.
Niumatalolo has always given special respect to seniors willing to serve on the scout team. These are players that have remained part of the program all four years despite not getting into games.
