Navy star quarterback Keenan Reynolds may have to make the coolest entrance to the Heisman Trophy Ceremony ever

Navy Midshipmen quarterback Keenan Reynolds has been unbelievably productive for in leading his No. 23-ranked team to a 9-2 record on the season by being the lead man in Navy’s triple option attack. Reynolds has been so prolific that he could very well be on his way to New York on Dec. 12 for the Heisman Trophy presentation.

However, that presents somewhat of a dilemma for Reynolds as the Army-Navy Game also takes place on Dec. 12 in Philadelphia. Kickoff for that contest is scheduled for 3:15 p.m. ET while the ceremony doesn’t get underway until 8 p.m. ET. With that small window of time, Reynolds and his Midshipmen coaches have a contingency plan that would also be the greatest entrance to the ceremony ever.

According to a report from CBS Sports, the plan for now would be for Reynolds to get off of the field and then board a helicopter with his family and few other people and fly to New York for the ceremony.

The flight would take them to a landing pad in New York that’s a little more than a mile from the ceremony, leaving Reynolds plenty of time to drive over there after landing. Wouldn’t it be incredible, though, if he bypassed that and just cleared out the road so he could step off of a helicopter in his Navy blues right onto the red carpet. If this is the plan to get him to the ceremony on time, why not go all out?

Reynolds, nor any other candidate, has heard which players will be going to the ceremony on Dec. 12. It’s safe to say that no one will have a better story of how they got there than Reynolds, though.
