# 2019 Navy Midshipmen football team

The 2019 Navy Midshipmen football team represented the United States Naval Academy in the 2019 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Midshipmen were led by 12th-year head coach Ken Niumatalolo and played their home games at Navy–Marine Corps Memorial Stadium. Navy competed as a member of the American Athletic Conference (AAC) in the West Division.

## Preseason
### Offseason

In December 2018, former defensive coordinator Dale Pehrson retired. He was replaced by Kennesaw State defensive coordinator Brian Newberry. On January 12, 2019, the Naval Academy athletic department officially announced the hiring of Brian Newberry as the new defensive coordinator and safeties coach, as well as three new assistant coaches in Brian Norwood (co-defensive coordinator/cornerbacks), Kevin Downing (defensive ends/raiders), and P.J. Volker (inside linebackers). Additionally, the remaining defensive assistant coaches from the previous year's staff were shuffled to new positions, with Steve Johns taking over strikers, Justin Davis taking over nose guards/defensive tackles, and R.B. Green becoming a general defensive assistant coach.
On February 21 Navy beat writer for the Annapolis Capital Gazette, Bill Wagner, published a story relaying that fullbacks coach Mike Judge and nose guards/defensive tackles coach Justin Davis were leaving the USNA football program to pursue other opportunities, with Davis joining the Miami Dolphins as a Defensive Quality Control coach and Davis pursuing a business opportunity. The USNA Athletic Department announced on February 27 the hires of Jerrick Hall from Elon as Nose Guards/defensive tackles coach and Jason MacDonald from the United States Naval Academy Preparatory School as Fullbacks coach.
Following the completion of the spring football session, head coach Ken Niumatalolo announced that raider Nizaire Cromartie, linebacker Paul Carothers, center Ford Higgins, and quarterback Malcolm Perry had been selected as team captains for the 2019 season.
