(Last Updated: January 15, 2025)
1. Brant Kuithe, Utah
FB/TE | 6’2″ | 220 lbs | 7th Year
Brant Kuithe is an undersized tight end who will spend most of his time in the NFL as a fullback or motioning out to the slot.
His athleticism for the position and extensive experience as a 7th year player help him thrive in a scheme that is willing to line him up all over the field in search of mismatches. He won’t have the strength to routinely win as an inline blocking tight end, and will need to improve his run blocking to sustain an NFL career. But Kuithe is a smooth route runner with very soft hands and a high football IQ who is willing to do whatever it takes to win a football game.
Brant Kuithe 2024 Stats
9 games: 35 receptions, 505 receiving yards, 6 receiving touchdowns, 14.4 yards per catch, 8 carries, 26 rushing yard, 2 rushing touchdowns, 3.3 yards per attempt
2. Brock Lampe, Northern Illinois
FB | 6’1″ | 255 lbs | 4th Year
Brock Lampe is one of the only players in the class who will be ready to play a traditional fullback role from day 1.
Lampe started his college career as a linebacker, but converted to fullback prior to the end of his freshman season. He immediately left his mark on special teams, and started seeing regular use as a fullback as a sophomore in 2022.
Lampe has a powerful build that allows him to excel as a blocker, both in the run and pass game. While he lacks the height and length to be viewed as an inline tight end, he’s fully capable of lining up there and holding his own from time to time. He’s shown consistent hands throughout his career, and has been a locker room leader for the Huskies.
Brock Lampe 2024 Stats
13 games: 9 receptions, 91 receiving yards, 1 receiving touchdowns, 10.1 yards per catch, 7 carries, 14 rushing yard, 1 rushing touchdowns, 2.0 yards per attempt
3. Jared Casey, Kansas
FB | 6’0″ | 245 lbs | 4th Year
Jared Casey is one of the only true fullback prospects in the 2025 NFL Draft, with experience lining up in the backfield, inline as a tight end, and out wide as a receiver.
The 5th year fullback started as a walk-on, but it didn’t take long for him to become a Kansas Jayhawk legend and prove he belongs at the division 1 level. Casey has good hands and enough fluidity to hold his own as a route runner. He has plenty of strength as a blocker and should benefit from a full time switch to fullback. NFL teams wants players like Casey to round out the bottom of their roster, and he has plenty of versatility to sneak onto a roster as a do-it-all fullback.
Jared Casey 2024 Stats
12 games: 18 receptions, 203 receiving yards, 2 receiving touchdowns, 11.3 yards per catch, 1 carry, 1 rushing yard
4. Gee Scott Jr., Ohio State
FB/TE | 6’3″ | 240 lbs | 5th Year
Gee Scott Jr. saw his role expand a ton this past season. Once a highly touted wide receiver recruit, Scott transitioned to fullback while also handling Ohio State’s occasional fullback snaps.
Scott has the build of a fullback and the athleticism to beat linebackers on his routes, with adequate hands and a willingness to do everything.
While he’s a more fluid receiver than the players above him, he doesn’t have the size or strength to function as a true inline tight end and will have to spend most of his snaps at fullback, where his inexperience as a runner and poor run blocking could make it difficult for him to find snaps.
Gee Scott Jr. 2024 Stats
Coming soon.
5. Hunter Brozio, North Dakota State
FB/LS | 6’1″ | 235 lbs | 6th Year
Hunter Brozio is one of the most interesting players in the draft. The 6th year senior not only handled the majority of NDSU’s fullback snaps, he was also their starting long snapper and could get a look there as an NFL player.
The fullback role has evolved over the past 10 years to mostly be handled by players who can play a second position, instead of dedicating a 53 man roster spot to a full time fullback. His versatility to long snap, another position that teams would love to get a two-position player if they could, will be really intriguing.
Brozio is an excellent run blocker with a good understanding of rush lanes and leverage, while also being an adequate receiver with playable athletic ability.
Hunter Brozio 2024 Stats
0 games: Injured.

Traits That Make a FB Prospect Great
Fullback can be hard to scout because so many of them convert from running back, tight end, or even linebacker. They aren’t heavily used, but can play a pivotal role on select teams. Run blocking, football IQ, and special teams experience are among the most important factors of scouting the top fullback prospects.
Some of the factors we consider when scouting are included below.
Versatility
It might be a stretch to call “versatility” a trait, but fullback draft prospects need to have it if they’re going to make a roster in the modern NFL. If they’ve shown the ability to line up all over the field (backfield, inline, slot, special teams, etc.), they likely have the work ethic and mental traits to serve a versatile role at the next level.
Run Blocking
Run blocking is probably still the biggest role of an NFL fullback. Experience as a lead blocker is preferred, but staying low and maintaining a strong base as an inline blocker is also a benefit.
Contact Balance
Contact balance will help every time a fullback touches the ball, but it will also help to maintain proper positioning as a blocker. When the fullback touches the ball, you need to be able to deflect would-be tacklers. Staying low and running hard with the ball in your hands is necessary.
Hands
Fullbacks are getting less work as runners, but more work as receivers. Having soft hands, good ball security, and the natural ability to attack the ball at the catch point will help them take advantage of their opportunities and find a way onto the field.
Overall Opinion of the 2025 FB Class
The opinion of the fullback class always depends on how many tight ends and running backs you label as fullbacks. As of right now, the class doesn’t seem particularly strong.
We usually see 1-2 players who look like traditional NFL fullbacks while also having traits to be drafted as a tight end or running back, but that’s not the case this year. Every prospect has at least one major flaw, whether it be blocking, athletic ability, or a complete lack of experience.
Still, if even 1 of these prospects ends up maintaining an NFL career, the class will be viewed favorably. And there are at least 5-6 who will get a look from the NFL.
