Navy’s veteran trench worker with service-academy grit
In the 2018 season, Alec Keener was a 6-foot-4, 278-pound offensive tackle who appeared in 2 games for Navy after serving mostly as a scout-team grinder and depth piece.[1][2] The standout trait is his Navy fit: coaches praised his size, knowledge of the offense, and readiness to contribute, which matters in a system that values assignment soundness as much as raw traits.[1] He also earned nods for his work ethic and leadership vibe, with Navy’s own feature suggesting he was the kind of player teammates jokingly saw as future commandant material.[1]
