Virginia fullback Sammy MacFarlane brings linebacker toughness and a record-setting high school résumé
MacFarlane is best known as a physical, high-effort **fullback** who also played linebacker at Brunswick School, where he led the team with **107 tackles as a senior** and set a school record, a strong indicator of competitiveness and contact tolerance. Virginia’s roster lists him as a fullback, and his background suggests a player valued more for toughness, blocking, and versatility than box-score production. If you want a willing tone-setter who can handle dirty work and adds defensive-minded intensity, he fits that profile well.
