Howard’s William Beverly brings old-school fullback grit and physicality
William Beverly is a classic tone-setter at fullback for Howard: a 6-0, 220-pound senior from Newport News, Va., whose value shows up in physical lead blocking, short-yardage toughness, and doing the dirty work that doesn’t always pop in box scores. Howard listed him on its 2018 roster, and ESPN profiles him as a fullback, which fits the role of a drive-starter and protector in the run game rather than a stat-hunter. If your team wants a dependable, blue-collar bruiser who helps others eat, Beverly is the kind of player who earns respect the hard way.
