Marc Philippi brings UNLV a **healthy, hard-hitting fullback** with proven physicality
Philippi is a classic throwback fullback who was described by UNLV as a **hard-hitting former defender** and by the Las Vegas Review-Journal as a player who gives the Rebels “**whacks and whams**,” which fits a run-heavy team that wants physical lead-blocking and toughness at the point of attack.[4][2] After missing a season with a broken right foot, he returned healthy, and at 5-foot-10, 225 pounds he profiles as a compact, powerful fit for short-yardage and bruising rushing situations rather than a stat-sheet star.[2][4]
