ESPN announcer Rece Davis says Navy-BYU football broadcast will ‘look and sound different’

Rece Davis has never broadcast a Navy football game from Annapolis. He’s disappointed his first visit to Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium will not include the traditional game day experience.

Because of the coronavirus, there will be no Brigade of Midshipmen march-on or pregame flyover over fighter jets, among many other elements typical for a Navy football home game.

“I’m really looking forward to doing a game in Annapolis and certainly wish it was under different circumstances. I would have loved to see all the pageantry associated with Navy football,” said Davis, a longtime play-by-play announcer for ESPN.
