I found this on an ESPN high school recruiting page as reported on a UM recruiting blog site: "Has great size and athleticism for the fullback position at the major level of competition; in fact we definitely see tight end potential. … Shows good flexibility, agility and balance as a ball carrier; for his size, he displays good vision and quickness getting up into the line from a regular fullback alignment; can pick and slide while continually gaining ground up to the second level; flashes the wiggle to make first tacklers miss in space however he lacks the burst or second gear needed to clear traffic and break into open space. This guy is a tough between the tackles, power runner capable of moving the pile and shortening the game in the fourth quarter. Does a good job blocking off the edge; brings his feet, rolls his hips and blocks through opponents." I'll go out on the limb here and say SUTM may be our most effect UTM play in a long time.

Injuries and other human acts of attrition have put our RB status in the thin or next to none world. He looks like someone who can really help on short yardage and/or red zone situations. He also looks like a TE. I don't think we. need him at LB.

That seems like his most likely role. He's apparently had quite a few injuries, and who knows if he'll play at all. Like others, I don't see him at LB. The other possibility, I suppose, is that they put in a few I-formation plays, and line him up as a true fullback.

I wonder how many teams utilize a true lead-blocking fullback as a part of their regular offense? Gotta be less than 10. Stanford, Michigan, Alabama (maybe...they went more spread under Kiffin), and Arkansas are about all I can think of off the top of my head. Miami and USC possibly? Those programs make me think "pro-style" offense, but I haven't followed either close enough the past couple years to know if that is the case. Iowa, Penn State maybe?

Strobel and Heitzman, if I am correct, didn't play even as much as this guy. Nice size and we do have a starting LB spot open with Brown graduating. I love Croutch but this kid will be a great fill in for Blair. I think he will make an impact.
