Once Navy fullback Jamale Carothers gets rolling downhill, he has been virtually impossible to stop.
The 5-foot-9, 203-pound sophomore is having a breakout season after playing for Navy's junior varsity squad as a freshman. Carothers ran for eight touchdowns and caught another during a four-game stretch beginning at Tulsa Oct. 12. He has played a key role in helping Navy become bowl-eligible for the 15th time in 17 years.
"I've played a lot of football in my life and I'm ready for the moment," Carothers said. "It's just a great feeling. My teammates and I worked so hard this summer and this spring. We put a lot of work into this, and I'm just glad it's coming out the way we want it to so far."
