Defensive changes in spotlight as Navy begins spring football camp
Navy football Brian Newberry, who was previously defensive coordinator at Kennesaw State, replaced Dale Pehrson as Navy's defensive coordinator. Pehrson retired after serving four years as defensive coordinator and spending a total of 23 years in Annapolis. (Kennesaw State / HANDOUT)Navy opened spring football camp on Monday, which meant the transition to a new defensive system began in earnest.
Head coach Ken Niumatalolo completely overhauled the defensive staff, hiring five new assistants on that side of the ball.
