Todd Hammond brings freshman-sized promise to Navy’s nose tackle room
In the 2026 season, Todd Hammond is a 6-foot-2, 280-pound freshman nose tackle for Navy from Brentwood Academy in Franklin, Tennessee, and he arrived after a year at the Naval Academy Preparatory School[1][2]. He doesn’t have public game stats yet, but the fit is obvious: he has the frame to anchor the middle, and Navy’s staff has him in the mix at a position that values toughness, leverage, and doing the dirty work. For a team, that means low-glamour, high-impact upside—classic Navy football material[1][2].
