They're good players. McCaslin redshirted his freshman year and played last season as a backup tailback. He has shown great promise as a runner. He's been double trained at tailback and fullback and should bring some of the same dimensions to fullback that Jackson did. Combined, they seem to give the Gators just about everything they're looking for in a fullback.
Rod is a very solid blocker.
And he does a good job of catching the ball out of the backfield. Eugene gives us a little more athleticism there. Fred Taylor in the same backfield. McCaslin averaged 7.1 yards a carry last season and scored four touchdowns. Most of his 41 carries came during mop up duty.
