DALLAS - Navy head coach Ken Niumatalolo is the recipient of the 2020 Stallings Award.

The Stallings Award is awarded annually to an FBS head football coach who is an exceptional humanitarian and coach. Coach Niumatalolo was selected as the recipient of The Stallings Award for his dedication to his community of Annapolis, Maryland, and his stance towards coaching strong men on and off the field.

This year Niumatalolo accepted the role of Stake President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints Churches in the Annapolis area. In this role he oversees all of the churches in the area.

North Carolina head coach Mack Brown, the first Stallings Award recipient, says, “Ken is a great coach and better man. Plus, he wins, but gives so much back. My life is better because I call him my friend.”

On the field, Niumatalolo has led Navy to a 10-2 record and a 7-1 mark in the American Athletic Conference West Division, sharing the division title with Memphis.

Niumatalolo, Navy’s all-time winningest coach with 97career victories, would lead Navy to a school-record tying 11 wins this year with a win against Kansas State in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl.
