Ben Purvis is Navy’s seasoned tone-setter at left guard
Purvis enters the 2026 season as Navy’s veteran left guard and the unquestioned leader of an offensive line that helped power one of the nation’s best rushing attacks; Navy’s 2025 roster lists him as a senior, a 6-3, 300-pound starter with 19 career starts and honorable mention All-AAC recognition in 2024[1]. He also earned an 84 overall rating in EA Sports College Football 26, which lines up with the profile: sturdy, experienced, and dependable rather than flashy[11]. If you want a guard who brings consistency, leadership, and physical edge to a run-heavy system, Purvis is your guy—pure trench work, no extra glitter, just reliable Navy grit[1][14].
