Navy’s old-school power back who thrives on toughness
In the 2003 season, Michael Brimage flashed as a rugged fullback for Navy, breaking out with 171 rushing yards and a touchdown against Wake Forest and following it with 84 yards versus Army, while a foot injury later slowed him down in 2004. His calling card is physical, straight-ahead running and the ability to step up when injuries hit the depth chart — a fit for teams that value reliability, contact balance, and toughness over flash. If you want a back who can grind out dirty yards and embrace the bruises, Brimage is your guy.
