TEAMMATES TO Q&A RHATTIGAN MITCHELL WEST JON ARMY WEST POINT • LINEBACKER NAVAL ACADEMY • DEFENSIVE BACK

When they were playing Pop Warner together on the Naperville Chargers as young kids, Mitch West and Jon Rhattigan never imagined that one day they’d be competing for the Commander-in-Chief Trophy in one of the nation’s most important and historic college football rivalries.
