Chris Lepore’s Navy legacy: ball-hawking safety, all-East pedigree, and a reputation for clutch defense
Chris Lepore is best known as a playmaking Navy safety who finished his career with 328 tackles and 9 interceptions, including 127 tackles as a junior and 109 as a senior in the 2000 season. He was a two-time First-Team All-East selection, earned Honorable Mention All-America as a junior, and was named Navy’s MVP with the E.E. Rip Miller Award, which tells you he wasn’t just productive — he was a tone-setter. If you want a defensive back who brings toughness, instincts, and big-game energy, Lepore is the kind of fit that makes the secondary feel meaner.
