Chet Moeller, one of Navy football’s all-time greats, will have his No. 48 jersey retired by the Naval Academy Athletic Association during the home game against Central Florida on Oct. 2, 2021.
Athletic director Chet Gladchuk announced Tuesday that Moeller would become the fifth Navy football player to have his number retired. He called Moeller one of Navy’s “all-time favorite sons.”
“Chet Moeller will be finally and duly recognized as one of our most accomplished, determined and tenacious defensive football players ever to proudly wear the Blue and Gold,” Gladchuk said. “His No. 48 will justifiably be hung from the rafters to forever remind our alumni and fans of the influence he had on our gridiron success and the game of college football at-large.
