Louisville Fullback Commit To Visit UK

[O-Ville_CAT_FAN]

Per 24/7 Sports. 3-Star FB Aaron Cochran will visit Kentucky. Dude is 6'3 250! Makes me wonder if they're eyeing him as a H-Back/TE or maybe a defensive position?

Aaron Cochran Profile

Can't say I know anything about him, but he is a big dude.

 

[childe]

Rivals has him listed as a fullback. 247Sports, ESPN, & Scout list him as a strong-side defensive end.

 

[Poetax]

Has ul fans started saying that they didn't want him anyway because they have better players coming in?

 

[Chad Rock]

...and, appears to be ranked #1 at his position...

I honestly wouldn't mind having a big, skilled FB on the roster. You could certainly use a player like him as a TE/HB. And despite being a spread team, there's no reason we can't line up in the I Formation occasionally and use him as an actual FB. I've seen other spread teams incorporate that into their offense. It would actually be something nice to have in short yardage/goal line situations or when you wanna kill some clock with a lengthy possession.

If anything, guys like this usually make good ST players, which will always give him value.

I'm pretty sure he's being recruited as DE. Will be a tough flip but the fact he's visiting gives us a chance.

No great offers

 

[gg4uk]

He don't even have an offer. Maybe he's the one doing the recruiting.

UK wouldn't bring him if he was not a good candidate for a scholarship.

 

[KapitalCat]

I have a feeling he's an insurance policy in the even (hopefully unlikely) that Strowbridge flips.

I would be really surprised if they offered a full ride to a fullback. I would be interested in knowing what other position possibilities that he might be considered for.

 

[KapitalCat]

Deeeeefense he's a defensive end.

after watching some of Dawsons' gameplans - this kid could be that H Back like a Frank Wychek @ Tenn Titans a few years back. He lined them up behind our Tackles and attacked with veers on end

I thought Wycheck played more like a slit receiver who lined up at TE. Kind of like Whalen.

Regardless if where he ends up I don't think anyone is recruiting him as a fullback. He's being recruited as a defensive end. We lose Z, Bud...Tubman is very much in limbo and Strowbridge is looking around (UNC and NC State) we need some insurance. This guy is being looked at as a defensive end.
