'10 KY FB Channing Fugate

[VOL61]

Kid looks pretty good. You have to wonder about the level of competion he played agaist though. He could turn out to be a solid player for us. Hopefully he has good hands. I didn't see alot of passes in the video. Probably will redshirt beef up a little hopefully not lose any speed.

 

[TennTradition]

Wow came out of no where. Looks solid. Prolly going to turn into a fullback, by name. In the spring they slipped him out and caught alot of passes. IMO thats where the "H Back"comes from.

Yeah...Chris Brown was an H-back in the former system....

The coaches had him at camp and evaluated him in THEIR drills... that is all I need to hear.

Fugate about it

Fugate about it

haha

 

[oldvol61]

What i found interesting about his film there appeared to be several DBs who had great angles on him but he was never caught. Good game speed by a fullback

I see that too, no one ran him down. that man can run!!hmy:

 

[bwilli40]

Does any web site give extra stats 40 time, cone drill, vertical anything?

 

[Lord Vader]

As a junior at Breathitt County High School he rushed for 3,052 yards and 36 touchdowns.

Jesus. Those stats can't be right, can they? They were in the last paragraph of the VQ article. 3,000 yards rushing and 36 TDs in one season?

 

[shenvalvol]

Maybe, he looked like he had several hundred yards just on a handful of carries in his film.

 

[The Breakerboy]

So he will be a RB or FB ?

He'll be a FB. But they will use him like USC used the fullbacks they had. Letting him make plays in the passing game. Remember the wheel route that the FB caught against Ohio St.? That kind of play opens defenses up. Good pick up.

 

[onevol74]

Kind of reminds me of the Hillard kid at LSU. Big fast white kid with pure guts and just will not be beat on the field.

 

[voltilifall]

just throwing this out there, but does anyone think that monte might have just found his middle linebacker of the future? i think this kid would be good as a fullback but with his size and speed i feel like he would be incredible on the other side of the ball.

Kid was recruited as a fullback.

You think TN has low Talent of Football, come to KY.

However the few that have went on to Play College ball in Big Confrences have done well.

Hunter Cantwell (Who I did pickoff as Sophmore)
Micah Johnson (BEAST)
George Wilson (Great Story)

Also, check out my buddy.

No ranking per Rivals, if I can find some highlight videos, it is just SICK.
However since we were 5A, and his size he didn't get any big time looks. He has a letter from Fulmer hanging up in his room, or did.
He is basically a white Nu'keese, minus the speed.

 

[govols182]

If his last name is pronounced like I think it is, you could think up a nickname having to do with the latin word Fugit (meaning "flies").

Tempus Fugit (Time Flies) could easily become Tempus Fugate.

Just trying to think of something original.

Something having to do with stopping time because that's how he will block? Maybe...

 

[govols182]

Pretty sure Al Wilson was brought in at DB.

 

[voltilifall]

Pretty sure Al Wilson was brought in at DB.

i'm almost positive he was a rb, but it wouldn't be the first time i was wrong.

 

[voltilifall]

found it...look at his high school stats, he was a nasty running back.

Al Wilson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

[VOLnMiami]

Wow!...Nice pickup!!...Big strong Fullback!...This guy has some nice moves and he can BLOCK too!....Good speed for a guy his size as well!...Very happy with this commitment!...Welcome to Big Orange Country Channing!

 

[Lord Vader]

Like a guy on Scout said, he apparently is popular with the ladies as well...

 

[velovol]

post count/total thats the point.
actually there rarely is a point, when you see someone make two posts within a minute of each other that are both one sentence.

 

[VolsByNature]

Is he cock eyed? Sweet, he could block two guys at one time

 

[TNHopeful505]

According to the Kentucky High School Athletics site, Fugate rushed for 35 TD's, 2919 yards in 261 attempts, averaging 11.1 ypc, caught 2 receiving TDs on 23 receptions for 314 yards, recovered 2 fumbles on defense, and recorded 96 tackles.

Sophomore Year- 14 games 1727 yards 123.4 yards per game 30 touchdowns
45 receptions 625 yards 48.1 yards per games 5 receiving touchdowns

Guy doesn't look like a bad pickup at all. I like the fact that he runs HARD. Looks like he may be hard to tackle. Just another addition to a already great backfield. If Toney Williams is hurt like I heard, then we can redshirt him, and then him and this guy can just smash people all day long. I like it. I like it alot.
