Trey Millard, FB, Oklahoma
Height: 6-2. Weight: 249.
Projected 40 Time: 4.68.
Projected Round (2013): 4-6.
5/4/13: Millard performed well as a lead blocker in 2012 and was an under-utilized weapon as a ball-carrier. He recorded 33 carries for 198 yards and 30 receptions for 337 yards and four touchdowns. Millard had a huge performance against Texas with five receptions for 119 yards and a touchdown, plus 45 yards rushing on three carries. Millard was going to enter the 2013 NFL Draft before changing his mind prior to the deadline.

Millard is an outstanding lead blocker and is very powerful at the point of attack. He can create holes with hits on linebackers. Millard also can contribute as a short-yardage runner. Some feel that he is in the running as Oklahoma's best all-around player.

Millard was an All-Big XII first-teamer the past two seasons and an All-Big XII Second-Team selection as a true freshman in 2010. His game is what the NFL looks for in fullbacks.

Personal: Psychology major. Son of Rob and Joy Millard.

J.C. Copeland, FB, LSU
Height: 6-1. Weight: 280.
Projected 40 Time: 4.77.
Projected Round (2013): 5-6.
5/4/13: Copeland was a powerful lead blocker for the Tigers in 2012. He had 21 carries for 67 yards and four touchdowns with three receptions for 54 yards. Copeland is a physical force who blasts open holes for running backs. He may need to trim some weight for the NFL.

Personal: Majoring in sports administration. Son of Sonya Copeland.
Trey Burton, FB, Florida
Height: 6-3. Weight: 229.
Projected 40 Time: 4.67.
Projected Round (2013): 5-7.
5/4/13: Burton continues to develop as a fullback who can contribute in a variety of ways. The Gators have utilized him as their wildcat quarterback, and he has performed well in that role. Burton had a long touchdown run against Tennessee in 2012 to help Florida make a second-half comeback for a road win. He also had three carries for 91 yards and two touchdowns against the Volunteers.

Burton totaled 166 yards on the ground while averaging 6.9 yards per carry last season. The junior has 17 receptions for 164 yards and a touchdown as well. He also improved as a lead blocker.

The athletic Burton started out his career as a spread-option quarterback under Urban Meyer and was moved all over the offensive formation. Burton played QB, FB, TE, WR and special teams as a freshman in 2010. He averaged 4.7 yards per carry while totaling 349 yards rushing and 11 touchdowns. Burton had a six touchdown game against Kentucky (five rushing, one receiving) that set records for the Gators.

Burton found a home at fullback in Charlie Weis' pro-style offense in 2011 and the sophomore had a quality season as a blocker. Burton also ran the ball 37 times for 125 yards and three touchdowns. Furthermore, he caught 19 passes for 149 yards and a score.

Burton needs more bulk and experience, but he could be a unique fullback in the NFL. Developing his lead-blocking ability is the biggest task for Burton to improve his draft stock.

Ryan Hewitt, FB, Stanford
Height: 6-4. Weight: 248.
Projected 40 Time: 4.74.
Projected Round (2013): 5-7.
5/4/13: Hewitt was an essential part of the Cardinal's offense in 2012. He was a great lead blocker for Stepfan Taylor and also contributed in the passing game as a receiver and blocker. Hewitt caught 14 passes for 129 yards and a touchdown with 13 carries for 32 yards and a score.

Hewitt had 34 receptions for 282 yards and five touchdowns in 2011 as an outlet for Andrew Luck. Hewitt has starting potential in the NFL.

Personal: Majoring in science, technology and society. Son of Keith and Mary Hewitt.
Jalston Fowler*, FB, Alabama
Height: 6-1. Weight: 242.
Projected 40 Time: 4.70.
Projected Round (2013): 5-7.
5/4/13: Fowler hurt his knee against Western Kentucky in Alabama's second game of 2012. The injury required surgery and took him out for the year.

The junior was an absolute force as a lead blocker for Eddie Lacy and T.J. Yeldon in the 2012 season opener against Michigan. Fowler also carried the ball eight times for 67 yards versus the Wolverines. He had 56 carries for 385 yards and four touchdowns in 2011 as a sophomore.

Fowler looks like a starting fullback in the NFL and a special teams contributor.

Hunter Joyer, FB, Florida
Height: 5-10. Weight: 249.
Projected 40 Time: 4.67.
Projected Round (2013): 6-FA.
5/4/13: Joyer is a powerful blocker at the point of attack. He had a superb 2012 season as the lead blocker for Mike Gillislee. Joyer only had two carries for zero yards. He is the go-to blocking fullback for Florida while Trey Burton is the team's running and receiving fullback.
Jay Prosch, FB, Auburn
Height: 6-0. Weight: 260.
Projected 40 Time: 4.85.
Projected Round (2014): 6-FA.
5/4/13: Prosch is a heavy lead-blocker who is also a good special teams player. He was new to Auburn in 2012, having played at Illinois his first two seasons. Prosch ran for 38 yards and two scores on 12 carries for the Tigers. He also caught five passes for 19 yards.

Prosch transferred because of an illness in his family and wanted to be closer to his home in Mobile, Alabama. He didn't receive carries for the Illini, but he was an effective blocker. Prosch also led Illinois in special teams tackles. He started seven games as a true freshman in 2010.

Personal: Business major. Son of Jerry and the late Iris Prosch.
