Aden Self is Army’s versatile, hard-nosed back with special-teams value
Aden Self enters the 2026 season as a junior at Army, listed at 5-foot-11 and 205 pounds, and his value is bigger than the raw stat line suggests: he played in all 13 games in 2025, made one start at running back against Navy, and even contributed on punt returns and tackles, which screams “willing football player” with coach-trust traits. He’s a compact, physical slotback/running back with special-teams versatility and the kind of Army-style toughness that fits a downhill system. If you want a dependable, multi-role fit rather than a pure highlight-machine, he’s your guy.
