Agreeing with above. While it technically may be possible to reapply and go to USNA from USMMA, it is not a good action plan.

1. you may not get in.

2. you have deprived someone of a slot at USMMA.

3. you have to do 4 years at USNA anyway.

4. You have wasted federal taxpayer money to the tune of about $75,000 for the year at USMMA.

5. Your reapplication for USNA can be accomplished perhaps more easily from a regular college or even as an enlisted serviceman.

However, if your ultimate objective is to serve your country as a naval officer (or other service) you can get there via USMMA or ROTC at college.
Service academies are tough (USMMA and USCG have highest failure/dropout rates-significanly higher than USNA) and should not be viewed as only the end objective but the means to the rest of your life as a leader in our society.
