New Free Agency Winners and Losers

Jacob Hester FB 5'11 226 LSU 4.62

By: Robert Davis

In his first two seasons at LSU, Hester ran for 237 yards and two touchdowns, while adding 13 receptions for 84 yards and three TD’s. In his junior season, he topped all of those numbers as he became a bigger part of the offense. He ran for 440 yards and six touchdowns and added 35 receptions for 269 yards and three TD’s. This year, Hester lead the Tigers in rushing, rushing for 1,017 yards and 11 touchdowns.

Hester can do it all out of the backfield. He has proven himself to be an excellent interior runner, capable of being more than just a short yardage back. He can keep the chains moving, but has also shown the ability to turn the corner at times. He has also developed into a quality receiver out of the backfield and is more than just a dump off option. Hester is also strong and tough enough to lead the way for other talented rushers in LSU’s backfield.

As a fullback, his first objective has to be to block. He needs to become more of a true lead blocker instead of a jock of all trades type. He is a good receiver and rusher, but he lacks the speed to play the tailback spot so he will have to improve his blocking.

Hester is a very good all around fullback, similar to Brian Leonard last year. He lacks the speed and athleticism that Leonard has so he probably will not be taken as high but Hester has the skill to make an impact in the NFL.
