Navy pulls freshman QB Malcolm Perry from stands to play in game

After starting quarterback Tago Smith injured his right knee in the first half of Saturday's 52-16 victory against FCS opponent Fordham, the Midshipmen pulled freshman Malcolm Perry out of the stands.

Perry, listed as the team's No. 4 quarterback after preseason camp, was wearing his uniform whites while sitting in the brigade at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium.

By the fourth quarter, Perry, from Clarksville, Tennessee, was playing in the game.

He ran for 32 yards on his first five carries in the Midshipmen's triple-option spread offense. He finished with 30 yards on seven rushing attempts, and he didn't throw a pass.

Don't try to tell me he won't be the coolest guy on campus this week haha. That's great, I love stories like this. Very 12th man like

Very cool...but unlike Gill at the cow-college in our state, Perry played.

Does this mean Navy can now use the 12th man?

If you know your Aggie history, this will make sense.

I believe he was not suited out due to violation of team or school policies. Head coach did not even acknowledge the kid had been summoned.

Looks like another Aggie tradition is coming.

yeah but my great uncle did and actually scored the decisive TD. Gig 'em

"Once Centre got the ball again, their hopes of a comeback failed as Aggie defensive tackle Ted Winn intercepted a ball and ran forty-five yards for another A&M touchdown, increasing the score to 22–7."Centre would score a touchdown afterwards, but the game soon ended 22–14.[9]"
