Navy’s Steady, Selfless Senior LB Built for the Grind
In the 2023 season, Navy linebacker Chaisen Buckner was a dependable, physical presence in the middle of the defense, credited by ESPN with 1 solo tackle and no sacks, forced fumbles, or interceptions, while Navy’s own interviews highlighted him as a senior who embodies the program’s selfless, brotherhood-first culture. He’s not a flashy stat-sheet hunter; his value is toughness, discipline, and doing the dirty work in a demanding scheme—traits that translate well if you need a reliable, coachable linebacker who brings intensity and accountability every snap.
