As college football and football as a whole continues to change an transform some things are added and thus some things are taken away. One of the things that has clearly been somewhat taken away from football is the position of fullback. In a sport that praises points and exciting offenses the fullback position tends to be relegated to traditional I-set offenses and more consistent running attacks.
Despite the fact that the fullback position is becoming extinct, some programs continue to use it. In the SEC the University of Georgia, LSU, and Alabama all use the position. In the ACC Miami, Georgia Tech, and Virginia Tech use the position as well. Well one player is clear to show why the position should not soon be forgotten. Brandon Worle out of LaGrange, GA stands at 6'1 237 lbs. An imposing figure to say the least, Brandon brings a lot to the field that coaches want in a player. He catches, blocks, and runs the ball very well. But his size and versatility will allow him to play and dominate because of his match ability on the field. He is a tough cover since he uses his body well in the passing game. And as a blocker its a great joy as a coach to watch him consistently pave a path for running backs with crushing hits.
I think with proper conditioning and a regimented weight lifting program Brandon Worle will be very successful. He has signed with LSU and reminds me very much of a former Tiger running back in Jacob Hester. After watching his film let me know what you think of this dominant player.....
