This guy has very very good speed. Faster than Amsler IMO. This is what caught the attention of the coaches when he was here at camp.

He won't get many carries, expect him to dominate that little fullback streak that Austin Johnson and Kevin Cooper caught TD's on this year.

I've watched Fugate for the past four years...against some weak competition and against some very good competition. The most telling game was against Louisville Central (in the state championship game his junior year) which boasts Patterson, one of the best defensive players in the class of 2010. Central also had Mister Cobble, who will make a name for himself at the D1 level. Fugate always rose to the occasion against such competition and had great numbers running out of a spread offense. He was more suited as tailback in HS and his speed is deceptive. His decision making with the ball is phenomal--inborn ability to find the hole, especially out of the wildcat formation. If he'd played in a HS system with big down linemen and a big blocking fullback, there's no telling what kind of numbers he would've racked up. He'll be very effective in a number of positions. I've watched alot of HS football and have witnessed the Kentucky-Tennessee HS match-ups of years gone by. He's the best I've seen, granted it's KY HS football; however, the state has produced a few good products...Couch, Alexander, Brohm, etc. I think Big Orange fans will fall in love with this athlete.

We are excited about him. We have had some good players from Kentucky. Faulkner and Stocker were keepers. We whiffed on a receiver from Louisville back last decade but most of the players that we get from there pan out.

He will not get even close to the amount of carries Hester got...

I agree...probably RS this year...we've still got BB, Oku, T Williams, Poole, C Fugate, and which ever RB we pick up this year...we'll be stacked...good problem to have... just have to keep all RB's happy with PT...GBO!

not sure if anyone was worried about this guy, but I was in the subway on chapman yesterday and standing right behind him in line. fugate must have been in their before cause the dude behind the counter started asking him about the new coach right away. When asked if he was staying he replied "For now, but we'll see what happens" don't think he had a good idea what the CDD offense will be like for him.

Mark Story: Breathitt's Fugate an example of why NCAA rules must change - High school football - Kentucky.com

According to this he isn't going anywhere

Has anyone heard how Channing Fugate is doing in camp? Was he a EE?
I was wondering if he participated in the summer strength & conditioning program.
Is there any chance the coaches give him a look at TE?

Yes he was an EE, but I don't know how he is doing. I have heard very little out of him this offseason. He might get a look at TE by this staff. I know the last staff wanted him as a H back, kinda like Wycheck with the titans.

I think he will be a fan favorite by the time he leaves here.
Just got a feeling about him, reminds me of Jason Witten.

He was a Early Enrolee. He played alot in the Orange and White game as a FB catching 2 passes out of the backfield as well as playing on kick off and kick off return teams. In the 2010 Football Time guide it said that the Coaches felt so comfortable with him and his abilitiy to contribute early was a big reason that Austin Johnson to LB and Ben Bartholomew to TE.

On his Facebook page he posted he lost 12lbs Wednesday from practice...

Apparently he is up over 240 lbs. now. Sounds like he is benefitting from the S & C program.
