After Hill’s long touchdown reception at Tuesday’s practice, Alec Ingold got involved in the passing game with a pair of big plays. On one, the athletic fullback tapped the toes before going out of bounds.
“Oh, yeah. Yeah, a little toe drag swag,” he said. “No doubt.”
Later, Ingold caught a pass and raced up the sideline for a big gain. Over his three-year career, Ingold averages 8.5 yards per reception after a college career that produced 13.2 per catch. In addition to that receiving prowess, he’s a hammer in the run game at a position that intrigues McDaniel.
“The fullback position in general, is something that I believe does assist a lot of other players, not just his assignment, but how offensive linemen are able to execute their stuff,” McDaniel said. “So I firmly believe in that.”
Ingold also detailed his perspective of one of the least-understood positions on a football field in 2022.
“Lineman, they line up and they’re in the trenches,” said the Miami fullback. “You’re nose to nose, face to face, facemask to facemask, and they’ve got those cages on. So they’re seeing things quick. As a fullback, I’ve got five yards to be able to read things, be able to see the defense. I have one of the best seats in the house. So any time there’s any late stems, any late rotation, in the backfield we can pick that up and we can adjust. Everyone is going to take responsibility for it but as a fullback, you definitely want to help the guys in front of you and then the guy behind you too.”
