RB, Dante Kain
‘Officially signing to such a prestigious school that West Point is, with incredible history and opportunity to continue to play high level football is an absolute dream come true. Serving my country, continuing my family military tradition, and becoming a Black Knight will be the greatest achievement ever, especially when I’m on the grounds and we get to work. I promise the entire staff and Army program my leadership and hard work will be an example for my teammates to follow. I was born for this moment, and I’m very grateful for this opportunity from Coach Monken to become a leader of men within his program at the next level! …BEAT NAVY!”

Growing up with a legacy of service—as a Gold Star child, with my late father Ken Owens, my dad, my mom, and my stepdad all serving in the Navy—shaped my values and inspired me to lead through service at West Point. I’m excited for the next step, to play football at West Point, represent the Black Knights, and prepare to serve my country. Proud to join the Army brotherhood.”
