Navy’s versatile senior is still chasing his breakthrough
Arnel Heathington enters 2026 as a senior at Navy, but the latest roster information shows he’s listed at wide receiver rather than cornerback, with no varsity stats and no clear breakout yet. The appeal here is versatility: he’s a 6-foot-1, 193-pound athlete who has the frame to handle contact and the flexibility to be moved around, which usually matters in Navy’s system. At this point, he looks more like a depth-and-special-teams fit than an immediate impact star, so the key question for any team is upside and adaptability rather than production.
