Kriss Proctor, Navy’s starting quarterback last season, will not graduate from the Naval Academy. Proctor has submitted his resignation from the academy, a school spokesman confirmed to The Capital.

Proctor’s resignation has not been processed, but is likely to be approved.

“Midshipman Proctor has submitted a resignation that is currently under review,” said Commander William Marks, Public Information Officer at the Naval Academy.

An inside source at the academy with knowledge of the situation told The Capital that Proctor’s resignation comes on the heels of an alleged honor code violation. The source said Proctor knew that academy officials were going to hold him accountable for the alleged transgression.

Marks could not comment on a possible honor violation due to privacy rules.

Proctor played in 22 games during his career, making 14 starts and rushing for 1,441 yards. The 6-foot-1, 200-pound product of Big Bear High (Cal.) started two games in place of injured starter Ricky Dobbs as a sophomore then appeared in eight games with one start as a junior.

Proctor started all 11 games in which he played as a senior and led the team in rushing and scoring with 914 yards and 14 touchdowns. The left-handed thrower also completed 52 of 103 passes for 787 yards and seven touchdowns in earning honorable mention selection to the All-Independent Schools team.

Navy head football coach Ken Niumatalolo was out of town and unavailable for comment.

Proctor will likely be required to reimburse the United States Navy for a portion of his educational costs.

Ironically, he featured prominently in the "Game of Honor" documentary.

Sorry to see him leave under such circumstances. I wonder if he could make the roster of a pro team and earn enough to reimburse the Govt.

Probably not with those Stats.

Might get drafted in one of the much lower rounds, chances of making a team roster would be slim. I hear the Arena League is hiring, might take a few years to pay back that kind of money.

He's definitely not good enough to go pro.

Also; they could require him to serve time as enlisted instead of paying back money. An honor violation isn't something that would stop someone from enlisting and serving. Not like it was a criminal offense. time will tell.

I know this is done but I bet the enlisted men and women are less than impressed.

Depends on who knows. A QB on the navy team is a known "Celebrity" for lack of a better word. But someone ranked #500 out of 1000 with no significant contributions or notoriety could probably get away with a pretty low profile.

His throwing stats are lackluster at best and his running scores aren't against the best teams. NFL defenses would catch him before he crossed the line of scrimmage. No pro ball for him.

I wonder what he did?

According to Mids that I know... this is his 3rd honor offense. 1 is unacceptable, but if in truth this is his 3rd, thank goodness he is gone. He got to close to commissioning if you ask me.

I think that serving as enlisted in lieu of payback is on its way out, especially with honor cases. I'd bet the cost of my own education he'll have to pay for his.

At any rate, he was found in violation so good riddance.
