For the first time since the end of the 2019 season, No. 25 Navy is back in the AP rankings, and the player most responsible for the rise of the Midshipmen after four straight losing seasons is quarterback Blake Horvath.

When Navy (5-0, 3-0 American Athletic Conference) hosts Charlotte (3-3, 2-0) in its homecoming on Saturday, all eyes will be on Horvath, a typical Midshipmen quarterback in that he leads the team in rushing but also an atypical one considering his efficient passing numbers.
