veteran Bison back with old-school toughness and blocker value
In the 2003 season, Johnny Frank was a veteran fullback for North Dakota State who was expected to be an important part of the running game, with coaches describing him as a tough inside runner and a good blocker. He played in all 11 games that season and added value beyond the box score with his physicality and reliability as a starter entering fall camp. If you want a gritty, assignment-sound runner who helps the offense function, Frank fits the profile; if you need flashy stats, this is more of a blue-collar chess piece than a headline-grabber.
