Navy’s record-setting, run-first quarterback with uncommon efficiency
Will Worth was a rare Navy quarterback who combined option-game physicality with unusually efficient passing, and in 2016 he led the Midshipmen to a 9-2 record while setting school marks for total offense and passing efficiency. He stood out as a true dual-threat catalyst—1,198 rushing yards, 25 rushing touchdowns, and 1,397 passing yards in his lone season as a starter—so he mattered because defenses had to defend every inch of the field. The key fit question: if you want a quarterback built to stress edges, punish tacklers, and execute a disciplined run-heavy system, Worth checked that box.
