Gavin Woods is a depth-piece linebacker with Navy traits written all over him
In 2026, Navy lists senior outside linebacker Gavin Woods at 6-foot-3, 232 pounds, and he’s competing for playing time while also contributing on special teams; the big note is that he saw no varsity action in 2024 or 2025, so this is more about projection than production right now. He fits the Navy mold: long, physical, and built to play downhill, with the added appeal of a two-sport high school background. If you want an immediate starter, he’s not that yet; if you want a developmental, high-effort linebacker who could grow into a role, Woods is a sensible yes.
