Jarid Ryan returns to cornerback with greater knowledge of defense
Jarid Ryan emerged as an effective cornerback for Navy football his sophomore season.
Ryan played in all 14 games and started the last five – posting solid statistics with 27 tackles, three pass breakups and two forced fumbles.
The Severn School graduate was looking forward to capitalizing on that experience to take his game to another level as a junior. However, Ryan was switched to safety out of necessity and it was almost like starting over.
By his own admission, it was an up and down season for Ryan. The Glen Burnie resident played in all 13 games with eight starts at free safety, but was not thrilled with his performance.
