Navy football has always made numerous position changes going into spring camp — either to plug holes on the depth chart or give players a new lease on life.
Two years ago, Evan Fochtman switched from quarterback to safety and made quite an impression during spring camp. The Archbishop Spalding product proved he could excel on the defensive side of the ball and wound up seeing considerable action at the hybrid linebacker position known as striker during his sophomore season.
There are numerous similar examples as the Navy staff, led by head coach Ken Niumatalolo, has done a superb job of finding the proper position fit for players.
