Navy’s rugged, veteran interior anchor
Pena is a dependable, battle-tested guard who has been a multi-year starter for Navy and was projected to start at right guard in his final college season, giving the Midshipmen a steady presence on the interior. In the 2023 season, Navy’s offense leaned on his side of the line in a run-heavy scheme, and earlier Navy notes credited him as part of units that produced strong rushing outputs against top opponents. His appeal is simple: toughness, experience, and line consistency — the kind of fit that helps a physical team stay on schedule and win ugly.
