Baltimore Beatdown has previously reported that 6th round draftee Keenan Reynolds was approved by SECNAV Ray Mabus to play this season.
Now, the United States Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter (SECDEF) has reported it, too.
At the grand audience of Graduation Day at the Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland.

As SECDEF Carter told the news about Reynolds, the fellow Midshipmen graduates began cheering, and he added, "Go get 'em."
As you could imagine, Reynolds was all smiles.

Now the NCAA Career Touchdown record holder (88) can fully focus on football and earning his keep with the Ravens.
Baltimore Beatdown salutes SECDEF Carter and Reynolds for bringing this to fruition. Just in time for Memorial Day.
