Jaxson Campbell taking over Navy football's striker position; Mids rebuilding depth chart with converted safeties

Jaxson Campbell taking over Navy football's striker position; Mids rebuilding depth chart with converted safeties

Striker was a position of concern entering Navy football spring camp. The Midshipmen lost their top two players at the hybrid outside linebacker spot in starter Xavier McDonald and backup Eavan Gibbons. Head coach Brian Newberry and defensive coordinator P.J. Volker feel a lot better about the striker depth chart after seeing rising senior Jaxson Campbell step up and several other converted safeties make significant progress. Campbell moved from safety to striker during spring camp his freshman season and immediately impressed the coaching staff.
