TIGHT ENDS / FULLBACKS
Led by first-year assistant Mario Acitelli, W&M's tight end and fullback positions are well stocked with talented, experienced players who will make an impact in various ways.

Senior captain Bo Revell is the team's top tight end and has the ability to emerge as one of the conference's breakout players this fall. With a 6-6, 260-pound frame, Revell has excellent size and good ball skills and is expected to be a difference maker in the red zone. The Haymarket, Va., native has accumulated 18 starts during the past two seasons and is coming off a junior season in which he averaged 14.9 yards per catch. As he continues to hone his route running and blocking skills, he should figure prominently in the offensive attack this fall.

After entering the spring as the fourth-string tight end, sophomore Eric Hensley (6-4, 250) worked his way into the backup role after an impressive practice season. An aggressive blocker, Hensley is a hard worker and an intelligent player who has the ability to contribute this season. 

Junior Evan McGill (6-5, 250) will also challenge for reps after appearing in four games last season. The Richmond, Va., native is a big, athletic player with good hands but needs to continue refining his game in order to earn increased playing time.

At fullback, senior Darnell Laws (6-0, 235) is slated to be the Tribe's starter again this season after earning third-team all-conference honors in 2013. The converted tailback is an intelligent, athletic player with good ball skills as evidenced by his performance at West Virginia last fall when he recorded eight catches for 45 yards with a touchdown. He has also proven himself to be an effective running back, as he averaged 5.2 yards per carry with three touchdowns during his sophomore campaign in 2012.

Although he is listed as the team's No. 2 option at fullback, junior Andrew Weidinger (6-0, 240) has earned eight starts during the past two seasons and will certainly see significant playing time this fall. A tough, physical, passionate player, Weidinger is a tremendously hard worker and a terrific leader who can make an impact with his blocking ability.
