Kyle Sullivan is positioned to be USD’s lead fullback in 2026
San Diego’s Kyle Sullivan is a third-year fullback who was projected to start and appeared in nine games last season, so his value is in reliability, role clarity, and assignment-based physical play rather than flashy volume stats.[1] He looks like the kind of glue-piece fit coaches trust in run-heavy or balanced offenses: dependable enough to earn snaps, versatile enough to stay on the field, and likely better judged by film, toughness, and blocking impact than box-score production.[1][5]
