Countdown To Army-Navy 2025: Former Black Knights Bryson Daily & Max DiDomenico
Last year this time, QB Bryson Daily and Safety Max DiDomenico were major pieces to an Army team that was ranked in the Top 25 going into the Army-Navy game.
Unfortunately for both players, the Black Knights came up short against their academy rival, the Midshipmen, 31-13.
Well the classic game for 2025 is less than a week away as the two programs will go head to head on December 13th at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, Maryland.
Currently, both Bryson and Max do not have official titles with the Army football program. However, they served as assistant coaches at the Prep School (USMAPS) and they do as Second Lieutenants
