Navy’s Mitchell West brings veteran toughness and steady back-end reliability
Mitchell West is a seasoned Navy defensive back whose value is built on consistency, physicality, and football IQ rather than flash; Navy’s roster notes show he started 6 of 10 games in 2021 and finished that season with 50 tackles, a forced fumble, and a pass breakup, while later player listings continued to place him in Navy’s defensive backfield. [4][3] For a team, the fit is clear: he profiles as a reliable, assignment-sound safety who can handle contact, play with discipline, and bring a service-academy edge to the secondary. [4][3]
