Richmond’s dependable, throwback fullback anchor
In the 2016 season, James Pavik was a respected, team-first fullback for Richmond who earned second-team All-CAA honors and helped power a Spider rushing attack that produced three 100-yard rushers. At 6-foot-1 and 245 pounds, he brings classic lead-blocking size, physicality, and steady special-teams value; Richmond notes also praised his consistency and the way teammates responded to his selfless style. If a roster wants toughness, reliability, and an old-school tone-setter, Pavik fits beautifully.
