Wake Forest’s bruising, under-the-radar fullback with old-school value
In the 2012 season, Ben Emert saw limited offensive volume at Wake Forest, but his profile screams classic role-player value: a 6-foot-1, 235-pound fullback with physicality, toughness, and enough versatility to contribute in short-yardage packages and as a lead blocker. He was listed as a redshirt junior and appeared in five games off the bench in 2012, with Wake Forest’s roster and stats pages showing only one career rushing attempt for one yard, so the appeal is less about box-score production and more about gritty, selfless utility. If you want an old-school, team-first FB who clears the way and embraces the dirty work, Emert fits the brief.
