Army Black Knights’ Top 10 Returning Players in 2024 Include Bryson Daily, Kalib Fortner
The Army Black Knights return several key players at the skill positions, putting them ahead of the other service academies as they move to the AAC.
While being a service academy in the Transfer Portal Era is brutal, the Army Black Knights have positioned themselves in the pole position in the race for the Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy. Jeff Monken’s schematic versatility has given the Black Knights a sense of stability that has been tough to find in college football.
Accordingly, Army is in a better position than expected to compete in the AAC in 2024. Here are the Black Knights’ top 10 returning players in 2024.
Army Black Knights Top Returning Players
10) Lucas Scott, OG
Lucas Scott didn’t start the season as a mainstay on the offensive line, but he quickly found himself as the starter at right guard for the Black Knights. He’s not a great pass blocker, but that’s not as important to this offense, especially when he can be a road grader in the running game, something he’ll be asked to do a lot.
9) Casey Reynolds, WR
While he’s not the most experienced receiver on the roster, Casey Reynolds was vitally important to the Army offense last year as a chain-mover and safety valve. He’s likely going to be moved around the formation to take advantage of his size and run-blocking ability.
8) Max DiDomenico, S
Max DiDomenico is Army’s second-leading tackler among returners and provides stability to the back end of the defense. The Black Knights lost both starting corners, so DiDomenico will be key to Army’s chances in coverage. He’s not afraid to come down and help out in run support, and his experience will be vital.
7) Tyrell Robinson, RB
Tyrell Robinson dealt with some injuries last year, making his season debut in Week 6 but not looking like his normal self. In 2023, he averaged 4.9 yards a carry and forced just two missed tackles all season. In the three years beforehand, he forced 60 missed tackles on 170 carries, averaging at least seven yards a carry each season. If he’s back to his normal self, he should have a much better year in 2024.
