Navy football is coming off of a 10-3 season that included the Commander-in-Chief's Trophy and a bowl win over Oklahoma. A lot of the talent responsible for that success-- especially on offense-- is returning in 2025. Understandably, it has led to some lofty expectations. Most pundits expect Navy to challenge for the American Athletic Conference title, with some even picking the Mids as a Playoff contender. The mythical "next level" feels tantalizingly close.
