Editor’s note: This story is the second in a series on incoming football players’ impacts on the team.LSU hasn’t found a steady fullback since Quinn Johnson took his services to the Green Bay Packers after the 2009 NFL Draft.The fullback position has been a revolving door for the Tigers, with junior James Stampley and converted offensive linemen Richard Dugas and Thomas Parsons seeing time.This season’s plan at fullback took another turn Thursday when it was announced sophomore Dominique Allen has been suspended indefinitely for “violating team rules.””There is a responsibility our players have to this program,” said LSU coach Les Miles in a press release. “There are things that you can and can’t do, and we are not going to compromise the integrity of our program.”Allen was slated as one of the top fullbacks entering this season, and his suspension leaves LSU searching for a steady fullback.Shea Dixon, managing editor for TigerSportsDigest.com, said fullbacks Stampley, Dugas and Kellen Theriot could compete for time when full practices begin Aug. 5.”They’ve always used a few fullbacks,” Dixon said. “LSU will probably go with the guy that looks good once camp gets here.”Walk-ons Stampley, who played in nine games with one start, and Dugas, who got action in eight games with one start, saw limited time last season.Theriot missed the 2009 season with a foot injury, but he emerged during spring practices as a top candidate at fullback.Dixon said incoming freshman Brandon Worle may get one of the first cracks at the spot now that Allen has been suspended.”Worle could take a starting job,” Dixon said. “He has a real good shot.”The 6-foot-2-inch, 245-pound fullback was a Scout.com three-star recruit out of Troup County High School.The LaGrange, Ga., native was rated as the No. 2 fullback prospect by ESPN.com and the fifth best fullback by Scout and Rivals.com.”He was probably recruited here being told he would have a good shot starting,” Dixon said. “Expectations would have it that Worle would come in and earn a job over those guys.”Junior running back Stevan Ridley joined the Tigers as a fullback prospect, but the 6-foot, 226-pound bruiser has emerged as a top candidate for the tailback spot with senior Richard Murphy and sophomore Michael Ford.Travis Dickson, the brother of former LSU tight end Richard Dickson, is another option at fullback.Dixon said Dickson could play either fullback or tight end for the Tigers.”They will move him to where bodies are needed,” Dixon said.The tight ends for next season are largely in place, with junior Deangelo Peterson, a former wide receiver, set to be used primarily as a pass-catching tight end.Junior Mitch Joseph and sophomores Tyler Edwards and Chase Clement will also vie for time.”Clement will be given every opportunity,” said Rene Nadeau, college football analyst for ESPN and TigerVision. “If Peterson improves his blocking, they won’t have to change much of the lineup.”Nadeau said Nic Jacobs from Many High School in Many, the lone tight end recruit from the 2010 class, will have to wait his turn to enter the tight end rotation.”There may be no reason to use Nic Jacobs,” Nadeau said. “It’ll probably be another year or so with him.”Jacobs caught 13 passes for 206 yards his senior season and was rated as the No.10 tight end recruit by Scout.The first and second team of the offensive line is also largely in place for next season, but one freshman may play a role this season.Nadeau said Evan Washington, a 6-foot-5, 287-pound freshman from DeSoto, Texas, will be given a shot to impress the LSU coaches.”The one who will get the biggest opportunity will be Evan Washington,” Nadeau said. Dixon said Cameron Fordham, the other offensive line recruit from this past year’s class, is a projected redshirt candidate.”Fordham is a guy down the road that could be a center,” Dixon said.Fordham was a Scout three-star recruit from Northview High School in Georgia.–Contact Michael Lambert at [email protected]
