Channing Fugate brings size, toughness, and versatility to Eastern Kentucky’s backfield
Fugate is a **powerful, physical fullback** who stood out at Eastern Kentucky for doing the dirty work that doesn’t always show up in box scores: in his senior season, he contributed as both a runner and receiver, and his NFLPA Collegiate Bowl touchdown underscored his short-yardage value and competitive edge.[9][5] At 6-foot-2 and about 250 pounds, he has the frame to lead block, absorb contact, and fit a grind-it-out offense; his earlier move from fullback to linebacker also signals uncommon versatility and football toughness.[3][6]
