Bengals sign 2 college free agent fullbacks
ELDER’S GLATTHAAR IN THE HOUSE; GO YOU PANTHERS, GO!
As a proud graduate of THE Ohio State University (1976) and Cincinnati Elder High School (1972), “Ludwig At Large” is pleased to announce the Cincinnati Bengals have signed a pair of fullbacks from both my alma maters to free agent contracts.
They are Bradley Glatthaar of the Cincinnati Bearcats and the Elder Panthers, and Tyler Whaley of the Ohio State Buckeyes.
Both players improve the depth at a position occupied by incumbent starter Jeremi Johnson, who enters his sixth season with the Bengals.
Glatthaar is a 5-foot-11, 242-pounder who looks and plays even bigger. He has a chance to stick because he’s a bruising blocker who served as the Bearcats’ short-yardage specialist, especially at the goal line, scoring 21 career rushing TDs.
At UC’s Pro Day, he unleashed 26 repetitions at 225 pounds in the bench press.
BUCKEYE BRUISER
Whaley is a 6-1, 265 pounder who also saw action at center. He walked on the Buckeyes’ squad out of Ironton High School and was awarded a scholarship prior to the 2007 season.
His bio reads: “He could been a starter at a lower level, but wanted to play for Jim Tressel at Ohio State. He does not know the meaning of quit.”
