Navy’s tackle machine with relentless downhill punch
In the 2024 season, Colin Ramos was Navy’s defensive heartbeat, leading the Midshipmen with 129 tackles while adding 9 tackles for loss and 3 sacks; he also earned multiple All-AAC honors and was recognized as a semifinalist for major national awards. [1][4][8][15] What makes him more than a stat line is the edge: he’s a high-intensity, tone-setting inside linebacker who diagnoses fast, closes violently, and has the consistency to stack back-to-back 100-tackle seasons — a rare Navy feat. [3][15] If a team wants a durable, assignment-sound, old-school thumper who plays like every snap matters, Ramos is the real deal. [3][15]
