UAB's Unsung Blocking TE from the Early 2010s Era
Sam Accursio, a 6'2", 235-lb tight end for the UAB Blazers, wrapped up his college career around 2012 as a reliable reserve who appeared in all 12 games in both 2010 and 2011 seasons, logging just one reception for six yards at Marshall in 2011—highlighting his primary strength as a gritty, physical blocker rather than a receiving threat. Teammates praised his key role in springing big runs, like crediting him in Tulane's 2011 rout of UAB, showcasing his selfless intensity and perfect execution in the trenches. No longer active (career likely ended post-2012), he's not a current prospect, but his blue-collar differentiator makes him a fit for teams valuing tough, lunch-pail contributors over stats.
