Navy Will Fly Keenan Reynolds to Heisman Ceremony in Helicopter If Invited

Joseph ZuckerDec 3, 2015

College football fans can universally agree that Navy Midshipmen quarterback Keenan Reynolds should earn an invite to the Heisman Trophy ceremony if it means his arriving in a helicopter in New York City.

The ceremony is scheduled for Dec. 12 at 8 p.m. ET, which could present a logistical headache for Reynolds, with Navy playing the Army Knights at 3 p.m. ET that same day. According to CBS Sports' Jon Solomon, Reynolds and the Midshipmen athletic department already have a plan in place to handle the situation:

"

Two helicopters would take a party of nine people, including Reynolds and his family, for about a 30-minute flight to New York, where a landing pad is 1.3 miles from the site of the ceremony. A car would be waiting to quickly take him to the ESPN show. ... "If we get him out of there by 7 o'clock and the game is over by 6:20 or 6:30, he should land in time," Navy athletic director Chet Gladchuk said. "How dramatic would it be if he walks in even when the show is under way? He comes walking down with his Navy blues on. 'Excuse me, fellas. Sorry I'm late,' and he sits down."

It's too bad Reynolds' theatrics would come too late to impact the Heisman voting. Of course, earning a trip to the ceremony will be difficult for the Midshipmen quarterback.

Reynolds has thrown for 964 yards and six touchdowns this year in addition to his 1,093 yards and 19 touchdowns on the ground. Earlier in the year, the senior overtook Montee Ball as the NCAA's career leader in rushing touchdowns, per the CBS Sports Network:

Despite his impressive numbers, few expect Reynolds to make the trip to New York City. Neither Sports Illustrated nor ESPN.com listed him on its Heisman watch list, and he failed to crack the top five on CBS Sports' consensus Heisman list.

Even if he doesn't get a chance to win the Heisman, beating Army wouldn't be a terrible way for Reynolds to end his college career.
