Princeton Fant-Wr or RB ?

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

I see on one UT roster posted he is listed at RB but appears he played WR in High School. He has good size, does anyone have information what his performance was during spring practice and where he may be listed on the depth chart ? I'm hoping he will be a solid contributor.

I just don’t think he is fast enough to play receiver, if he stays with the team he probably stays at RB.

Need to get him healthy. I think he can be a solid rotation guy in the WR corp. Don't think he has the leg strength to be a knock them down' running back type. More straight line speed.

Now his sister, Ella Fant, is a whole different story.

She's a real nut. They call her "Syco" Fant.

I think he’s been recruited over and will be moving on to make scholarship room.

Possibly.
They've tried him all over the field, and he just stick anywhere.

FB-Hybrid TE. Added depth at LB perhaps?

I wouldn't rule him out as one of the transfer guys either. It's very, very crowded at WR and TE and talent level at RB is very good too.

 

[OakdaleVol]

Weinke told me when I was up at practice that they really like his potential at rb. He has good vision and breaks tackles but runs way to high. They think he will contribute at rb with some time there he played primarily receiver in high school.

 

[bigorangepoppa]

I laughed.

Yeah, me too!

 

[volroadwarrior]

Need to turn one of these guys into a solid FB if we run a power offense.

 

[Titan&Volfan4life]

Seems like he might be kind of a tweener.

They might coach him as both a RB and a WR and use him tween both spots depending on injuries and where he's most needed.

He'll be in great shape running back and forth tween both groups, LOL!

VFL...GBO!!!

Make him a FB.

 

[AstonRoyal]

No gonna lie, I forgot he was even on the team

 

[chaseasl]

Make him a FB.

If he has enough pop and could hold up to the punishment.

 

[Volunteer_Kirby]

LB? Seems like a good athlete to have for ST as well.

 

[Rudy123]

Big, slow receiver = tight end

 

[KBVol]

Tweener without a position imo. Special teams guy going forward if he stays here.

Move to TE or FB is the kiss of death to college football careers.

Toward the end of the season I noted he was practicing w/ the fullbacks during pregame... which I believe a good fit for him.

Jason Witten agrees...

Tight End

Mine is too but I am too old to play football now.

 

[ru4real-really?]

if he's not fast enough, maybe he should start sooner!
