Jacob Williams is forcing his way into Navy’s RB rotation
In the 2026 season, freshman Jacob Williams has already shown early juice for Navy, carrying 5 times for 34 yards in the opener against Towson while averaging 6.8 yards per carry and earning a spot on the two-deep ahead of Week 1. At 5-foot-10, 210 pounds, he brings a compact build that fits Navy’s physical run game, and the early depth-chart climb suggests coaches trust his camp performance. If you want a young back with real upside in a tough, assignment-heavy offense, Williams is a name to watch.
