A former Navy football player will be honored during Saturday’s game against Army.
According to a report from Yahoo! Sports, Navy slotbacks Toneo Gulley, Calvin Cass, Dishan Romine and Kendrick Mouton will be wearing a uniform patch featuring late teammate Will McKamey, who passed away after collapsing during a practice in 2014.
If McKamey were alive today, he would be a senior playing in his final Army-Navy game.

It’s a touching tribute for a man who was taken far too soon.
Kickoff between the Midshipmen and Black Knights is set for 3 p.m. ET on CBS as Navy looks to make it 15 wins in a row over its rival.
