Predicting the 2026 Army Football Season
xCruzo Brief
Army opens the 2026 season with a far steadier roster on offense and a largely rebuilt defense. After a 2024 record 12-win year and an American Conference title, the 2025 defense largely returned, but quarterback play was inexperienced—Dewayne Coleman started early before Cale Hellums took over. For 2026, the offense brings back nine of 11 starters, with Hellums returning after 10 games of starting experience. Defensively, new coordinator Daryl Dixon faces replacing eight of 11 starters from the Navy game, with inexperience concentrated at inside linebacker and safety. Michie Stadium’s east-stand renovation is finished, and the article maps out expectations for all 12 games plus December.
