President Ulysses S. Grant attended the United States Military Academy at West Point against his will. Initially, he had little interest in a military career and was reluctant to go, but his father encouraged him to accept the appointment. Despite his initial resistance, Grant went on to have a significant military career, ultimately becoming a prominent Union general during the Civil War and later serving as the 18th President of the United States.

Who is the only US President to play in the Army Navy football game?

Only three presidents attended either West Point or the Naval Academy. U.S. Grant, D. D. Eisenhower (both went to West Point) & Jimmy Carter (U. S. Naval Academy). Football wasn't around when Grant went to West Point. Eisenhower did play football at West Point in the linbackers position (he once assisted on a tackle of Jim Thorpe). I could find no referance of Jimmy Carter playing football at the Academy. So a good guess would be D. D. (Ike) Eisenhower.

Which US Presidents graduated from Air Force Academy?

None of them. Presidents Grant and Eisenhower went to West Point, and Carter went to Annapolis, but no US President attended or graduated from the Air Force Academy. Keep in mind that the school has only been around since 1954, so any President before Clinton would have been too old to attend.
