A student studying at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis will be among the contestants on the college championship of "Jeopardy!'' 

The school says 18-year-old freshman Gary Tse of Ellicott City, Maryland, will compete on the show that airs Friday at 7 p.m. The school says he'll face off against a Georgetown University student and a student from the University of Kentucky.
