What is the future of the full back position here?

[80s]

I am not comfortable relying on walk ons, but I understand with scholly restrictions upcoming and the fact Hagans barely plays


Do you all think we will ever recruit a fullback again, or will it just be walk ons or converted linebackers?


Guess I am old school but I would like us take kids like Hagans every few years just to have that weapon

Jedd doesn't seem like a "fullback" kinda guy. Likes the zone blocking and one cut runners. We don't run much power O or iso schemes, rendering the fullback useless.

I expect to see less of the traditional full back and more of an H back look.

I think guys like Dobard and Dillard will become that H-back type guy who motions in and out of the backfield. When Golden and Fisch first came out with a depth chart there was no fullback position but I think they soon realized Hagans was of use to them so they brought it back.

DJ Williams was the best Fullback we ever had. Get a kid like that.

On stats and contribution I would agree. DJ was a more traditional fullback, and If he had stayed there this wouldn't even be a discussion.

No need to recruit fullbacks..

More of an HB. It should be a 6'0-6'2 player who is thicker then a WR. Would like to see Travis Johnson line up there.

Work on the Johnny Bench drill.
