A rugged Bucknell fullback who earned trust by being a punishing blocker
Matt Kawczenski’s Bucknell profile is built more on toughness than flash: in the 2002 season outlook, Bucknell described him as a "punishing blocker" and noted that his return from a knee injury added depth and versatility to the backfield. He also missed all of 2001 after injuring his knee in 2000, which makes his comeback context matter a lot when evaluating him. If you value a physical, team-first RB/fullback who can help in short-yardage and set the tone, he fits the mold.
