Tough, versatile Vanderbilt fullback with a physical edge
Bailey McElwain was Vanderbilt’s fullback and a hard-nosed, multi-role piece for the Commodores; in the 2016 season, ESPN listed him with 1 carry for 0 yards, while Vanderbilt notes highlighted him as a two-year starter and a former All-State linebacker at Hewitt-Trussville. His value is less about box-score volume and more about toughness, blocking, and versatility—he fit as a blue-collar glue player who can handle contact, special teams work, and dirty-work snaps. That profile makes him a fit for teams needing physicality and dependability, though his career-ending injury limited his long-term playing impact.
