Veteran UNI fullback with special-teams value and physical edge
De'Andre Vandevender was a redshirt junior fullback/tight end for UNI, and the clearest visible differentiator in the available record is his versatility and willingness to contribute on special teams, where he saw game action in 2010 and made a tackle against Indiana State[1]. He is the kind of low-glamour, high-discipline role player coaches value for physicality, blocking, and doing the dirty work that doesn’t always show up in box scores[1].
