Last year, State College DB Sammy Knipe went down with an injury early in the season. I cost him 4 games of the 2019 season but he came back strong mid season, and expectations are high if the 6’1″, 220 pound DB gets to see the field. Off the field, and on the recruiting trail, things have been just fine for Knipe. Fordham, Army, Columbia, Villanova, JMU, Duquesne, LIU Post, Akron and Holy Cross have all thrown offers his way, but he ended that part of his senior season by committing to The Navy Football program and Academy.
Make no mistake, they’re getting one heck of a player for that Midshipman defensive backfield, as well as a tremendous young man off the field. In his freshman year, Knipe had 40 Tackles, 2 INT, 6 Passes Deflected, 1 Fumble Recovery, 1 Defensive TD, 18.8 Avg Kickoff Return Yards. In his Sophomore Year he had 100 Tackles, 1 INT, 8 Passes Deflected, 1 Fumble Recovery, 3 TFL
He announced his decision on twitter Saturday Night:
BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO SEE.
The United States Naval Academy.
