Princeton Fant at Running Back

[V04L]

Are we getting Derrick Henry this weekend?

 

[Tman44]

The toughest part for him will be learning the blocking schemes. He will be a beast with the ball in his hands. Let's get him coached up well this week!

 

[LamarJackson111]

So small and Sampson are either Out or aren't healthy

 

[Jeff Clark]

Hopefully he could be like Pete Johnson was at Ohio State and with the Bengals.

So small and Sampson are either Out or aren't healthy

Nope they both practiced fully and should be ready to go on Saturday

Fant either catches great or drops easy ones. No in-between

 

[McDad]

Short yardage situations?

What’s odds Fant ever runs it one time?

The easiest position in football to plug & play is RB. You either have that runner's instinct or you don't. Really surprised Banks ain't the emergency RB since he came in as a highly touted RB. I remember him playing against Whitehaven in high school. That defense had Eason, McDonald, French & like 3-4 more D1 players. Banks looked like he belonged at RB.

Being a TE, I can’t imagine blocking schemes are going to be too difficult for him to pick up

That is fantastic news. Going to need those guys. Especially if Tillman is out.

Awesome news WHEW

 

[Dudleys87]

Why do I see this as a recipe for disaster?

They have been so far

 

[VAVol85]

Short yardage situations?

This…to reduce the wear and tear on Small if he is a little banged up. Also Akron may have been a warning that four backs are not enough.

Probably whatever the odds that 2 runningbacks get dinged up in a game. So like 8%

Because he kept fumbling...
Don't you remember?

Although I 100% agree with your statement, I would say Fant has done 10 times more blocking as a TE than any of our current RBs, so I think he will have no problems blocking if needed.

 

[StarRaider]

Heaven help us.

 

[ThreatLevelOrange]

Fant has been WR, TE, and RB during his 6 years here. He will do fine if he gets pressed into service.

Does UF have any injuries of concern?

 

[Proud Army Wife]

Just how big a boy is he?

Yup
