Jayden Umbarger is Navy’s versatile, assignment-sound WR with playmaking juice
Umbarger is a useful Navy weapon because he brings **versatility**, **game experience**, and a proven ability to create chunk plays on reverses and limited touches; in 2021 he averaged 11.8 yards per carry on 11 rushing attempts and added 6 catches for 60 yards, and Navy’s staff has pointed to his reverse work as a real threat. He also entered the fall second on the depth chart at wide receiver, though his spring was slowed by injury, so the fit is best for a team that values motion, toughness, and multiple ways to get him the ball rather than a pure volume receiver.[1][3]
