He actually just saw the 2013 Bison/Jacks game and assumed that because he only had 8 carries for 4 yards that he must be a FB. A featured back is going to get more than 8 carries and to his credit they were a very impressive 4 yards.

Was that the game that Perry put the monster hit on him right off the bat? If so Zenner probably thought that he was a FB and shouldn't be carrying the ball. You might also recall Stig said afterwards that he made a mistake by not keep giving Zenner the ball---great thinking---I should have keep trying what didn't work.
Re: 2014 SDSU Jackrabbits
Guys with Zenner's skin color are fullbacks in the NFL until they can prove otherwise. Reverse of the way it used to be for QBs.

The invention of the Zenner as a unit of measure, has it's roots in Brookings,SD an away game.
Also occurring was over flow toilets and their version of No Food Football. I was present on the Yello Bleachers of Death (RIP)
Re: 2014 SDSU Jackrabbits
Thanks---they all seem to run together after a while----the hit I am thinking about must have been 2012 in Fargo. Glad you survived the bleachers---I was there for a game early last decade and once was enough for me.
Re: 2014 SDSU Jackrabbits
Since 2010, here's a year by year look at how many fullbacks have been drafted and the round drafted:
2010: John Connor (5); Jameson Konz (7)
2011: Owen Maricec (4); Anthony Sherman (5); Charles Clay (6); Shaun Chapas (7); Stanley Havili (7)
2012: Rhett Ellison (4); Bradie Ewing (5); Drake Dunsmore (7)
2013: Kyle Juszcyk (4); Braden Wilson (6); Tommy Bohanon (7)
2014: Jay Prosch (6); Kiero Small (7); Trey Millard (7)
Not a position where you are likely to be drafted, especially from the FCS ranks. Only one of these is FCS, Juszcyk from Harvard. If Zenner is being looked at for a fullback spot, his running and pass catching capabilities might separate him and increase his stock, but doubtful anyone would use a draft choice on someone at a position you didn't play in college that teams just don't draft anymore.
At any rate, I hope you gets an opportunity to plat somewhere whether its running back or fullback..

Zenner is a great back, but he is not, I repeat, NOT a FB. He is a dwarf in that respect. I cannot believe this is being discussed.
