Justice Rider brings Navy-level grit and special-teams edge to the linebacker room
Justice Rider is a 6-foot-2, 235-pound junior at Navy who fits the classic Midshipmen mold: physical, disciplined, and built to run through traffic without flinching. In the 2024 season, ESPN listed him with limited defensive production, which suggests his value has leaned more toward depth, development, and special-teams impact than headline-grabbing stat lines. The appeal is the Navy fit—toughness, versatility, and an unselfish role profile—but he looks more like a system piece and culture add than a plug-and-play star.
