Freshman Malcolm Perry was the next best option, but he was in the stands with the Brigade. Naturally, Navy pulled him out of the stands and had him change out of his dress whites into a football uniform.
WOW! One of the Freshman Midshipmen in his dress whites was pulled out of the stands & sent to locker room. Replacing QB Tago Smith. #Navy

Freshman QB Malcolm Perry was not dressed to start the game. He was pulled out of the Brigade when Tago went down. Will wear #5 in 2nd H

Navy is still in the midst of transitioning from last year's Heisman candidate, Keenan Reynolds, to now a freshman who was watching the game from the stands.
