Ben Herlocker brings old-school fullback energy with a power-run pedigree
Herlocker was listed as a freshman **fullback** for East Carolina and arrived with a strong prep resume as a bruising, productive runner: 2,577 rushing yards and 36 touchdowns on 315 carries, plus a 1,775-yard, 32-touchdown season that showed real workload durability and goal-line finishing[1][8]. At ECU, publicly available roster pages do not show college stats for him, so the key appeal is his physical, downhill fit rather than a stat-heavy profile[3]. He looks like a classic tone-setter—useful if a team wants toughness, ball security, and short-yardage identity over flash[1][3].
