Tony Knight possibly a recruit worth considering at FB?

Given the SR campaign he had and considering that Iowa nabbed his teammates, Orloff and Grant ... I wouldn't be shocked if Iowa goes after him if Rogers heart issue prematurely ends his football career.

Yep ... can't get the site to delete this thread and/or correct the title.

All due respect when's the last time we actually recruited a FB? Arent most walk ons that earn schollies or converted LB's or TE's?

Brad Rogers and Calvin Bailey?

I wish we could get Tommy Knight. I'd suggest, however, moving him to CB instead of FB. Do we get to bring back his wife Tracey as well??

Brad Rogers and Calvin Bailey?

Yes Rodgers was, don't know about Bailey

I thought I remembered hearing that the fact we were willing to let Rogers compete at RB was a big reason why we landed him. I could be wrong though.

Also, I saw elsewhere that Ray Hamilton has looked very good playing FB. He is a TE recruit and could probably be persuaded to make the switch to FB if it means immediate playing time but that's just a guess.

Actually you're right on Rodgers but with the running back depth we HAD heading into the tear it made sense for him to have a better chance at FB.

Calvin Bailey, #1 ranked FB in the nation when he committed and when he arrived. Never played a down. Did he even arrive?
BTW, who rates fullbacks in high school?

I am pretty sure Ferentz recruited Tom Busch to exclusively play at FB.
