Nolan Bartley’s navy-blue debut is tidy, not flashy
In the 2026 season, Navy freshman kicker Nolan Bartley has been perfect on extra points, going 6-for-6 with no field-goal attempts yet, so the early read is reliability over volume.[2][3] At 6-foot, 172 pounds, he’s a lean, first-year specialist whose value right now is clean execution in a limited role; the interesting part is upside—if Navy starts trusting him on longer kicks, the sample could quickly become meaningful.[1][4] If your team needs a steady, low-drama kicker with room to grow, he’s worth watching.
