Braxton Woodson News, Rumors, Updates - Navy Midshipmen | FOX Sports

Productive in first start Woodson completed 12 of 19 passes for 165 yards and one touchdown during Friday's 34-20 win versus East Carolina. He also had 15 rushes for 125 yards with two touchdowns.

Impact Woodson started his first game of the season Friday with star Blake Horvath (back) out. Woodson played very well, notably through the air as he attempted 19 passes -- more than all but one of Horvath's games -- and threw for 165 yards and a touchdown. He was also very productive on the ground, highlighted by his two touchdown runs in the span of a minute in the fourth quarter. Horvath's status for the Dec. 14 clash at Army is in question, but Woodson proved that he could produce in his absence.

Expected to start Woodson is expected to be the Navy's starting quarterback Friday at East Carolina, national college football writer Brett McMurphy reports.

Impact Blake Horvath (back) is out, so the Navy needs to select a starting quarterback between Woodson and Jackson Gutierrez. According to McMurphy, Woodson is the favorite despite his struggles in relief of Horvath back in Week 13. He completed 30 percent of 10 passes for 13 yards and a 0-1 TD-INT ratio.

Struggles in relief effort Woodson completed 3 of 10 passes for 13 yards and one interception during Saturday's 35-0 loss to Tulane. He also had 13 rushes for 24 yards.

Impact Woodson entered the game in the first quarter after star quarterback Blake Horvath (back/ribs) left with an injury. Woodson failed to get the offense going as he accounted for just 37 total yards and committed two turnovers. Horvath has nearly two weeks to get back healthy, but if he is unable to go Nov. 29 at East Carolina, Woodson would likely be the starter.

Impact Woodson played most of the second half Saturday after losing out on the starting job to Blake Horvath. He had a decent performance, tossing one touchdown and adding another on the ground. With Navy's schedule quickly moving into conference play, Woodson will likely be on the sidelines for most of the rest of the season barring an injury.

Not listed as starting QB Woodson will not be the Navy's starting quarterback Saturday against Bucknell, according to their depth chart updated Sunday.

Impact A thumb injury prematurely ended Blake Horvath's 2023 season, resulting in Woodson receiving relief opportunities during it. But now that Horvath is healthy, he can be the Navy's starting quarterback again.

Productive in relief of Arline Woodson was 9-for-18 passing for 71 yards and one interception during Saturday's 59-14 loss against Southern Methodist. He also had 18 rushes for 104 yards with one touchdown.

Impact Woodson took over the Midshipmen offense after Xavier Arline (ankle) left the game, and played fairly well. He led the team in rushing with 104 yards, the majority of which came on a 69-yard rushing touchdown in the third quarter. Arline has two weeks to recover before the Army game on Dec. 9, but if he is unable to go Woodson could be in line to start that massive rivalry game.
