Auburn fullback Ladarious Phillips is a powerful, old-school downhill blocker
Ladarious Phillips was an Auburn fullback known more for grit and physicality than volume stats: 247 Sports lists him at 6-foot-0, 293 pounds, a build that fit a bruising lead-blocker role for the Tigers.[1] Auburn and ESPN sources show he was the team’s only true fullback in his time there, and that the position was used sparingly in the offense, which means his value was in short-yardage leverage, toughness, and doing the dirty work that doesn’t show up in box scores.[4][6] If your team wants a traditional, high-effort fullback presence, he fits that mold; if you need a stat-heavy skill player, he does not.[1][4][6]
