Keenan Reynolds and Bernard Sarra Named 2015 Football Team Captains

Jan. 9, 2015
Navy head football coach Ken Niumatalolo announced Friday night at the annual Navy football banquet that rising seniors quarterback Keenan Reynolds (Antioch, Tenn.) and nose guard Bernard Sarra (Monessen, Pa.) have been elected team captains for the 2015 football season by their teammates.
"Being elected team captain at the Naval Academy is one of the highest honors you can receive at an institution that prides itself on producing great leaders," said Niumatalolo. "Keenan and Bernie are not only great football players, but they are great leaders on the field, in Bancroft Hall and in the classroom. There is no question in my mind that they will do a great job in this very important role. They both work extremely hard and will set an example for the entire team on and off the field."
Reynolds will go down as one of the greatest players ever to play at Navy. He has rushed for 3,186 yards and 64 touchdowns in his career, while throwing for 1,798 yards and 23 touchdowns. His 3,186 career rushing yards are the third most in school history and he needs 994 yards next year to pass record holder Napoleon McCallum. He also ranks 17th in NCAA history for rushing yards by a quarterback and he needs 1,310 yards to pass Michigan's Denard Robinson to become the all-time leader. His 64 career rushing touchdowns are the most in school history, the most in NCAA history by a quarterback and tied for the fourth most in NCAA history by any player. He needs 14 more to pass Montee Ball of Wisconsin to set the record. His 23 career touchdown passes are tied for the fourth most in school history and is seven shy of passing current Commandant of Midshipmen, Bill Byrne, for the school record.
Sarra has been a force in the middle for the Mids, starting 22 games over his first three years. He has recorded 68 career tackles, including a career-high 38 in 2014. Sarra blocked three field goals this year, which was tied for the most in the country.
