 Cadet Christopher Morgan was killed last week when the tactical truck he was on rolled over as he was heading to a summer military training camp.
A funeral was held at the Cadet Chapel followed by a burial at the academy's cemetery.
The Academy's Commandant of Cadets, Major General Steve Gilland, said Morgan was an "an exemplary classmate and teammate" and was "tremendously proud to be a cadet."
The 22-year-old West Orange resident was studying law and legal studies. He was also on the Army's wrestling team.
Morgan was expected to graduate in 2020.
