1969

Charlie Jarvis, the 1969 Army Athletic Association winner, competed in both football and men’s lacrosse while at the Academy. He was selected to the 1968 East-West Shrine Game, 1969 Lions American Bowl, and Coaches All-America Game in football. Jarvis was drafted by the San Diego Chargers as the 382nd overall pick in the 15th round of the National Football League (NFL) Draft.

During his three-year tenure in the Black and Gold, Army posted a combined record of 23-7 and 2-1 versus Navy. Jarvis set the program record for rushing yards in a game during the 1968 season when he ran for 253 yards against Boston College. That record stood for a little more than 30 years until Michael Wallace broke it in 1999 (currently third all-time now). Jarvis also holds the 10th best single-season rushing mark with 1,110 yards ranks tied for 12th in single-season touchdowns after registering 11 scores in 1968. He collected five 100-yard rushing games in 1968 as well, which tied him for sixth on Army’s all-time list.

Jarvis graduated ranked second on Army’s career rushing list with 2,334 yards on 441 attempts (currently eighth) and fourth all-time in program lore in career rushing touchdowns with 22 (currently ninth).

On the lacrosse field, he was a two-time honorable mention All-America choice and was a member of Army’s 1969 squad that captured a share of the National Championship. During his two varsity seasons (1968-69), the Black Knights combined for an overall record of 18-3-1.
