Wisconsin always knows how to utilize fullbacks, and Ingold is no exception. The top old-school fullback in this year’s class is 6’2" 240lbs, is a capable blocker, and is better with the ball in his hands than you’d expect. Ingold blocks like a pure fullback, which can actually be a bit of a problem in the current NFL. He usually lowers his head into blocks which is fine as a lead back, but will get you burned if you’re playing on the line as a tight end. This hurts his versatility and overall draft stock. Still, Ingold is great as a pass and run blocker from the backfield, and is a solid route runner and short distance back.

2018 Stats

143 rushing yards, 6 rushing touchdowns, 93 receiving yards, 1 receiving touchdown

Chandler Cox is another pure fullback who would have been highly sought after a decade ago. Even so, he is a good athlete who has blocked effectively and caught some passers for Auburn since his true freshman season in 2015. Cox was an All-American and 4-star tight end by some recruiting services, which helps show his athletic profile and tough-nosed mentality. Cox didn’t improve much on tape throughout his time at Auburn, but that was mostly due to a lack of opportunities with the ball in his hands. When he did get opportunities, he was effective as a receiver and goal-line threat.

2018 Stats

3 rushing yards, 2 rushing touchdowns, 93 receiving yards, 1 receiving touchdown

Andrew Beck is versatile for a fullback, as his 6’3" 255 pound frame allows him to play on the line as a tight end if needed. The Big 12 is one of the rare conferences that vote on fullbacks in their All-Conference teams, and Beck was 1st Team All Conference. He is an absolute class-act off the field, and has a love for the game on the field. Beck was recruited to Texas as an elite linebacker, and his physical tackling will help him on special teams. He was also as productive of a receiver as any fullback in the class. His versatility should help him at the next level.

2018 Stats

281 receiving yards, 2 receiving touchdowns

Aston doesn’t have the accolades of Ingold or Cox, but he might have had the best senior season of them all. Pittsburgh is known for always having a great offensive line, but Aston is the secret ingredient that makes their running game so effective. Pitt’s two lead backs each averaged well over 6 yards per carry behind Aston as a lead blocker, and his toughness helped open lanes and fire up the team. He didn’t score much his senior year and missed most of his junior year with an injury, but he scored 10 touchdowns as a sophomore. Aston could be a sleeper to rise in the draft and might have the best career of any fullback despite a lack of versatility.

2018 Stats

10 rushing yards, 1 rushing touchdown, 68 receiving yards, 1 receiving touchdown

Dimel is a tough blocking fullback who didn’t have much production in his one year at UTEP. The former Kansas State Wildcat transferred to UTEP where his father took over as head coach, but some nagging injuries and a lack of surrounding talent took its toll on Dimel’s season. While his 2018 stats were horrible, he scored 22 rushing touchdowns in his 3 years at Kansas State. This includes 12 as a sophomore. That kind of goal line production can’t be forgotten about, and should help him get NFL attention, especially if he’s 100% healthy in workouts and can showcase his agility.

2018 Stats

-3 rushing yards, 89 receiving yards, 0 receiving touchdowns

Fullback rankings can be particularly difficult, and are nearly impossible until the last month or so. A lot of smaller tight ends will embrace the fullback role, and linebackers or small defensive ends will transition there as well. Alec Ingold, Chandler Cox, and George Aston are all traditional fullbacks, and could get a shot at the next level.  Otherwise, the strength of this class largely depends on who tries to play fullback at the next level. Expect 1 at the most to be drafted.
