Navy defensive captain Daniel Gonzales has an application on his phone that performs a countdown. Back in June, when the Midshipmen were starting summer workouts, the inside linebacker began counting down the months and days until preseason practice began.
"I was checking my phone app just this morning and it's down to hours now," Gonzales said Tuesday morning during the American Athletic Conference Football Media event. "I've been waiting all summer for this moment."
Navy officially opened preseason camp on Wednesday at 9 a.m. with a crisp two-hour workout in shorts and shells (shoulder pads and helmets only).
