rugged WVU tight end/fullback with old-school blocking value
Michael Ferns is listed by West Virginia as a 6-foot-2, 245-pound tight end/fullback, a profile that screams compact, physical, and built for the dirty work in the run game[2]. His biggest differentiators are versatility and toughness: he’s the kind of player who can help as a blocker, in special teams, and in a hybrid TE/FB role rather than chase flashy box-score numbers[2][3]. One key wrinkle: his WVU story also includes stepping away from football in 2017 to finish an engineering degree, so durability and availability have been part of his career context[3].
