Lamar Owens brings Navy a proven, explosive option-era QB profile
Owens is best known as a high-efficiency, big-play quarterback from Navy’s option tradition, with school-record passing efficiency marks during his playing career and a reputation for maximizing yards per throw rather than just volume. He fits best if you want a QB who can operate a disciplined, run-heavy system, stay composed under pressure, and punish defenses when they overcommit to the run. The main differentiator is his playmaking economy: he wasn’t flashy, but he was extremely effective in a structure that demands precision, toughness, and quick decision-making.
