Published on November 13, 2026
At a Naval Academy Athletic Awards dinner held this past summer, Dr. Robert Miller of the Annapolis Council Board presented two awards from the Council for Athletic and Academic Excellence. The first award was the now annual “Right Hand Man Award“ which honors a Navy football player who, though not widely publicized in the media, distinguished himself as a valuable member of the football team. This year's award was given to MIDN Rayne Fry '27 in recognition of his superior performance as the starting Long Snapper for the Naval Academy football team. It also recognized his superior academic performance and selfless nature. The second award was the "Unsung Hero Award" presented to recent Academy graduate 2ndLT Jack Tarzy '26, USMC, for his superior performance as the captain of the Naval Academy men's golf team. It noted that, as the team captain during his First Class year, Tarzy served as a role model and also showed outstanding academic performance.
