The Notre Dame Fighting Irish have a handful of position battles to sort through this spring. While we are all fixated on the linebackers, wide receivers, cornerbacks, and running backs; no one is mentioning the fullback position.
Well that’s because there is no official “fullback” position at Notre Dame (obviously). Now, before you start throwing beer cans at the computer screen, I mention the fullback position because there actually is a fullback on Notre Dame’s team.
It’s the H-Back.
The H-Back is a modified-mutant-hybrid of a fullback and a tight end. Last year we watched Brock Wright play this position, which has diversified assignments that match the position description.
