ETSU’s physical, low-profile fullback with proven toughness
Austin Hayworth is a former ETSU fullback whose profile is built more on reliability and physicality than flashy box-score production; in the 2015 season, he appeared in all 11 games and added five receptions for 23 yards, showing he could contribute in a limited, role-specific way. His differentiator is old-school fullback utility: dependable, team-first, and willing to do the dirty work that helps an offense function. He also came to ETSU with a solid prep pedigree as a three-year letter winner and first-team all-conference pick, which fits a coach looking for a hard-nosed glue guy rather than a headline star.
