Zach Smith gives Cal a low-volume, dependable fullback option
Smith is a traditional **fullback** who has been used sparingly in Cal’s offense, with ESPN listing **3 carries for 23 yards** and **0 touchdowns** in his recorded stats, so his value is less about box-score production and more about role fit and physical lead-blocking utility.[1] That makes him a niche roster fit for teams that want a true FB presence in short-yardage, run-heavy packages rather than a high-touch offensive weapon.[1]
