Navy's Memphis-Bred Captain and People's Tackle
Kip Frankland, Navy's offensive tackle from Memphis' Houston High, earned 'Captain of the Captains' honors in 2022 for his relentless leadership and late-season grit despite the physical grind of the triple-option offense—shining in a 0-2 start loss to his hometown Tigers. Dubbed 'The People's Kind of Guy' by Navy Athletics, his hometown roots, unyielding intensity, and team-first charisma make him a differentiator; a perfect fit for programs valuing tough, character-driven linemen who elevate those around them.
