Danny Wild writes on the incoming class of football players, another great piece - as to be expected from the Wildlife blog.

Good luck to all the new guys, in a few (very short) short years you will be the leaders of the Army football team.


I've been pretty pumped up to see what would happen with A.J. McGovern from near my hometown (Wilkes-Barre, PA) - I heard he was attending prep school, and as it turns out that is, in fact, the case.

McGovern, an all-star center, turned down offers to play football at Colgate University and Ivy League schools to follow his dream of attending and playing football for the U.S. Military Academy.

"I've always wanted to serve in the military," McGovern said, "and I've always wanted to play college football."

Mom and dad, Maureen and Jim McGovern, were a little wary of the idea of their son entering the military during a time of war, though.

"We are going from being tentative about what's happening to a little excited, little nervous," Maureen McGovern said.

McGovern ships out to Fort Monmouth in Oceanport, N.J. in early July. He'll attend a military prep school for one year before entering the academy.



Part of me wants Ellerson to bring in all the new offensive linemen to give them as much time as possible to learn from 2010's veteran unit. Ellerson must have that same mentality as he brings in 11 new linemen who average about 6'2.5" and 255 lbs.

I look forward to seeing all the new Black Knights in the black and gold. Hopefully this new class can get around the older guys and learn the system.
