Abey's career will come full circle with second start against Army

Zach Abey will always be part of Army-Navy history.

In 2016, Abey became the first quarterback to ever make his first career start in the Army-Navy game. The Archbishop Spalding product was thrust into the spotlight on short notice after season-long starter Will Worth suffered a broken foot in the American Athletic Conference championship game the previous Saturday.

Don Abey coached his son in youth football and has attended every one of his games on the high school and college levels. In all those years, Zach Abey had always been calm, cool and collected going into a game.
