Navy moves Malcolm Perry from quarterback to slotback
Malcolm Perry, known for coming out of the stands to play quarterback for the Mids, will be moved to slotback for the 2017 season. N (By Paul W. Gillespie / Capital Gazette) Malcolm Perry made national news last season when he literally came out of the stands to play quarterback for Navy in the opener against Fordham.
Starting quarterback Tago Smith suffered a season-ending knee injury early in the second quarter, thrusting backup Will Worth into the game. Unbeknownst to anyone in attendance at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium that day, third string quarterback Zach Abey was not available because he had been suspended for one game by head coach Ken Niumatalolo.
