Fullbacks aren’t used that much in football, with the game passing them by in favor of spread passing attacks and single-back sets.
However, there are still a few players left fighting the good fight, and Texas A&M 12th man Cullen Gillaspia is one of the best.
So, when popular Barstool Sports personality PFT Commenter announced a Fullback of the Year award, Gillaspia decided to throw his hat in the ring. As you can see below, he pitched his candidacy to PFT Commenter:

“PFT, if you’re out there, I’d really like to be the fullback of the year,” Gillaspia said. “Partly because I want the trophy and partly just because I’m expediting — expediting? That’s not the right word. See, I’m a fullback, I’m dumb. I can’t even say the right words. But yeah, PFT, if you’re out there, I believe I’m worthy of your fullback award.”
Naturally, this made its way back to PFT Commenter, who weighed in on Gillaspia’s candidacy:
He makes a compelling case for the first annaul fullback of the year trophy but its a long season. Your On the watch list for sure Cullen https://t.co/x829dWnUEZ

The Aggies have a bye this week, but then return to the field at Mississippi State next year. Gillaspia will need to be on top of his game to help A&M move the ball on the ground against the Bulldogs’ stout defense.
