Howard was not 220. He was nearer 200 and maybe 205. The roster from 2004 at state says 205. He was probably 5'9" - 5'10". He was faster than Fugate, but Fugate does have the size advantage. Howard also has something Fugate can never have: 2 championship rings. It will be really interesting to see how Fugate projects at the college level. If he is intent on staying a running back, then low to mid D1 is where he will end up. If he wants to change positions on offense to tight end or fullback, or concentrate on defense, then a lot of bigger D1 schools come into the picture. I liked watching Channing play last week. He is a really good all-around football player.

Actually, yes he was. He was heavier his junior season, but worked hard in the offseason, and slimmed down a bit, and got quicker. Agility was dramatically improved.

And for those talking about Fugate had 3,000 yards this year. You have to remember, Doug Jr. always had to share the ball with plenty of big yard rushers. (Jonah Caudill, his freshman & sophomore years, David Jones his junior & senior years) Not to mention the many other backs Belfry used.
