Versatile, high-effort UCF back-room piece with captain-level toughness
Puopolo was a walk-on turned scholarship player at UCF who earned captaincy, the team’s Iron Man award, and a reputation as a relentless fullback/H-back who does the dirty work for the run game.[1][2] In 2015, he battled an early injury but still contributed on offense, and his value showed up more in reliability, strength, and competitive edge than in box-score numbers.[1][2] He looks like a fit for a program that wants a physical, selfless, high-work-ethic role player who can lead by example and stabilize the backfield structure.[1][2]
