veteran Navy linebacker with preseason first-team recognition
Eddie Carthan entered the Navy linebacking group as a preseason first-team honoree, signaling that coaches viewed him as one of the unit’s top returning defenders and a player with real trust in assignment-heavy, physical football. His value is less about flashy stats and more about Navy-style reliability: toughness, discipline, and the ability to fit a complex defense. If you want a linebacker who can handle structure, contact, and leadership, Carthan is the kind of fit that usually translates well.
