Navy football coach Ken Niumatalolo called this year’s recruiting class the “best class we’ve ever brought in.” Coaches seem to say this about every class, but it could be true considering the national pub the Midshipmen have gotten by playing in a bowl game the last seven years.

The bevy of recruiting websites that college football fans flock too don’t think much of Navy’s class. Rivals.com has Niumatalolo’s class ranked 111th out of 120 teams. Of course, those same recruiting classes that websites have ripped in the past have proven the critics wrong.

This year’s 52-man class includes plebes from 20 different states with the most, seven, coming from Texas. Navy has always had a national recruiting base, which they work to their favor. North Carolina, Florida, Georgia and California all also produced five recruits for this year’s class.

If you’re wondering why we are posting Navy and Army’s recruit lists now, months after the rest of college football’s powers announced theirs, it’s because of the nomination process academy football players must go through. Congress must nominate each student enrolling at a service academy. Air Force Academy’s football recruit list is coming next.

The list of players is after the jump.
