Biography: Keenan Reynolds is the finest Navy football player since Roger Staubach in 1963. He led Navy to a school record 11 wins against just two losses and a national ranking of No. 18, which is Navy highest final ranking in the AP poll in more than 50 years.
Reynolds finished fifth in the Heisman Trophy voting and was named third-team All-American. He is the all-time leader in touchdowns scored (88) and rushing yards by a quarterback (4,559), and led the Navy senior class to a school-record 36 wins.
Well-respected by his peers, Reynolds was made a unanimous captain for the 2016 East-West Shrine Game, switching from quarterback to running back, and went on to win the Pat Tillman Award, which is presented to a player who best exemplifies character, intelligence, sportsmanship and service.
On February 28, 2016, the Naval Academy announced that Reynolds would be the last player to wear #19. Reynolds joins the list of Roger Staubach (#12), Joe Bellino (#27) and Napoleon McCallum (#30) whose numbers have been retired by the school
Reynolds is the third straight college football player to claim the award. Ohio State running back Ezekiel Elliott, who was on site to present the award this year, claimed the award last year after leading the Buckeyes to the first-ever College Football Playoff National Championship in 2015. Penn State offensive lineman John Urschel took home the 84th AAU Sullivan Award the year prior.
