Before senior cornerback Cameron Kinley arrived at the Naval Academy, he was helping feed the homeless as a high school student at Lausanne Collegiate in Memphis, Tennessee. Around the same time, now-senior slotback Myles Fells was shedding the football jersey off his back and anything else he had to give to children in Little Rock, Arkansas.
As the pandemic raged this summer and fall, Kinley and Fells both took time to mentor kids, mirroring one another more than 100 miles apart. They both got to work on fighting racial injustice and preparing to play football in an unprecedented climate.
