C.J. Kearns brings Navy size, upside, and old-school toughness
The 2025-26 freshman forward from Rockledge, Fla., is a 6-8, 215-pound frontcourt piece for Navy who looks built for the dirty-work role: size, rebounding, interior defense, and a versatile high-school track record that included 8.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, and 2.1 blocks per game in 2023. He’s the kind of player who can fit a disciplined, defense-first team because he already showed two-way impact, a strong motor, and enough touch to hint at more than just brute force. If you want length, energy, and a reliable glue guy with upside, Kearns is worth your attention.
