Navy Football Team to Visit the White House on Tuesday

ANNAPOLIS, Md.—The 2024 Navy football team will visit the White House on Tuesday in honor of the Mids winning the Commander-In-Chief's Trophy. The ceremony with President Donald Trump is scheduled for 3 PM.  There is a chance the ceremony will be streamed live on the White House YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@WhiteHouse/streams

The 2024 Midshipmen joined the teams from 1905 (10-1-1), 2004 (10-2), 2009 (10-4), 2015 (11-2) and 2019 (11-2) who won at least 10 games in a season.

Navy's 21-20 win over Oklahoma in the Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl marked the first time Navy defeated a team from the SEC in a bowl game since 1954 (1955 Sugar Bowl) when the Mids knocked off Ole Miss 21-0. It was the first win against an SEC team overall since 2004 when Navy beat Vanderbilt 29-26.

Navy finished the regular season with a complete domination of Service Academy rival #19 Army, knocking off the Black Knights 31-13 in the 125th playing of the Army-Navy Game presented by USAA. With wins over Air Force and Army, the Mids won the Commander-In-Chief's Trophy, which is presented annually to the winner of the football competition among the three major service academies (Navy, Air Force and Army) and is named in honor of the President of the United States.

Navy won the two Service Academy games this year by a combined 45 points, which ties the 2019 Navy team for the biggest combined CIC margin of victory by any of the three Service Academies since 2007 when Navy beat Air Force and Army by a combined 46 points.
 
The win over Army gave Navy victories over two ranked opponents in the same season for the first time since 1958, when the Mids defeated #8 / #7 Rice 20-7 and #14 / #12 Michigan 20-14. Navy defeated #24 (Coaches) Memphis 56-44 on Sept. 21, 2024.

Navy was predicted to finish 11th in the American Athletic Conference and ended the year tied for third with Memphis (Navy beat Memphis head-to-head) with a 6-2 mark despite playing one of the toughest schedules in the league.
