Texas at El Paso lands big time fullback

[Coach Bill Lewis]

Kia Locksley their QB transfer was the national JUCO MVP last year.

Now they add the best fullback in the market.

This UTEP squad is going to surprise some people this season folks.

Who?

Locksley could be good if he can decipher Chico's playbook.  If they are centering their offense around the FB, then best of luck to them.

[Aldo]

Best lead blocker north, south, east, AAAAAND west of the Rio Grande.

Chico's offense will explode from a 3.75 yards per play average to a whopping 3.9!

What’s a fullback?

It will surprise me if they move up to 129 from their previous dead last ranking of 130.

They lost their best player too.

Here's one running against the North Texas defense last year.

They  were funded in 1914 as The State School of Mines and Metallurgy.

They  still have a practice mineshaft on their campus.

It  keeps them  grounded by giving  them a place to practice being shafted.

The "best fullback" was the 7th leading rusher at K-state last year averaging 3.2 ypc on 19 carries for the year.  He did have four TDs rushing and one receiving so he could be dangerous if he gets close to the goal line but to call him the best fullback in the market might be a stretch.

How did they use him? I don’t buy into their offensive production as a measurement of a FBs value.

I'd add to that, a national juco mvp with no line blocking for will do little.
