Cameron Kinley, a recent graduate of the US Naval Academy and top football recruit, won’t be able to defer his commission and play in the NFL, the Navy has announced.
The undrafted free agent corner back expressed his dismay on Monday, saying the decision had crushed his “childhood dream” of going pro then serving in the Navy.
“I have spent the past week processing my motions, as it is very difficult to have been this close to achieving a childhood dream and having it taken away from me.”

I trust he understood the commitment of serving upon graduation. Hopefully, like others, he can play pro ball after his military commitment.

He has a debt to the United States Navy, He knew full well what was required when he accepted, he made an informed decision - he defers his commitment to the navy to play football, plays 10-12 years, he is now a 34-36 year old Ensign, past the age requirement of Officers entering the service, second, the chance of a career ending injury, one that would disqualify him from service, is higher.
The Navy entered into a good faith agreement with him, the terms and conditions fully spelled out, it's time for him to honor his obligation.
