Navy DE Chreign LaFond brings size, experience, and disruptive flashes off the edge
In the 2024 season, LaFond played in 12 of Navy’s 13 games and finished with 4 tackles, 2 tackles for loss, and 1 sack, showing he can create negative plays even in a limited role.[5][4] At 6-5 and about 262–265 pounds, he has the frame of a true edge defender and has steadily moved from rotational snaps into a senior presence on the line.[1][5][9] His standout differentiator is toughness and composure: Navy’s own coverage highlighted his persistence, while his emotional reaction to his sister’s Olympic gold also showed a teammate-first, high-character personality.[5][7][10]
