Tennessee’s tough, old-school back with a checkered injury history
In the 2026 season, David Holbert is listed by Tennessee as a 6-foot-1, 250-pound senior fullback/runner, and his value is built less on flashy volume than on physicality, leverage, and bruising interior work[1]. Tennessee and historical stat lines show a player whose college impact was shaped by injuries, including a devastating knee setback that previously knocked him out for a season, which makes durability the big question mark[1][2]. If you need a downhill, tone-setting blocker/short-yardage body with SEC size and grit, he fits; if you need a high-usage, open-field playmaker, this is not that profile[1][2].
