Many observers believe Keenan Reynolds now ranks alongside the incomparable Roger Staubach as the greatest quarterback in Naval Academy football history.
Staubach has even stated that the accomplishments of Reynolds surpass his own. The Hall of Famer even joked that his own grandson now wears a No. 19 Navy jersey because Reynolds is his favorite player.
This season, Reynolds became the first Navy player to earn serious consideration for the Heisman Trophy since Staubach was the recipient in 1963. Staubach publicly campaigned for Reynolds to win the Heisman because he met the trophy's mission statement.
