Clay Cromwell brings Navy a sturdy, disruptive interior presence
Clay Cromwell has developed into a reliable **defensive tackle** for Navy, with a 6-foot-3, 295-pound frame that fits the interior run-stopping job and a track record of starting and producing in the lineup, including 29 tackles, 6 tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks in a 12-game season.[1][4] What makes him interesting is the combination of size, consistency and game-to-game toughness that Navy values in its defensive front, making him a good fit for teams needing a physical, assignment-sound interior defender rather than a flashy stat hunter.[1][4]
