QB’s can wait. Shelf life for a running back is different. NFL cities all have military recruitment offices. They can work there when practice is over. If they get cut twice by 2 different teams that would settle it.
You don't train midshipmen at the Naval Academy so they can have make-work jobs in recruiting offices when they graduate. You train them to serve on ships, or fly, or be in the Marine Corps, etc..
Recruiting jobs for officers in particular are limited, and are given to officers who, at a minimum, are on their second tour. It is a "shore tour" -- a chance for someone who may have just spent three years with a ship to get more time at home and not be on or preparing for deployment. To give a newly commissioned ensign that kind of stay at home shore tour is unfair to everyone else.
And what kind of a recruiter would he be? How is he going to convince other young men and women to consider a career as naval officers when the only reason he has that job is because he's trying not to be a career naval officer?
Boo-freaking hoo as far as I'm concerned. He had a chance after two years to leave the academy without any obligation, and to pursue his athletic dreams as a transfer. He instead chose to stay, knowing he had an obligation. Time for him to suck it up and fulfill the obligation for which he knowingly contracted.
