Canon-McMillan FB Hull welcomes contact - Pittsburgh Tribune-Review

Canon-McMillan fullback/linebacker Mike Hull isn't hard to find after a bruising Quad-A game. Just look for a walking pile of ice bags.

"There's ice everywhere," he said. "I walk out of the locker room with ice taped all down my arms and legs with elastic bandages and plastic wrap. My whole body is iced."

Due to the high-impact nature of both positions, the 6-foot-1, 215-pound Hull can collide with opponents up to 40 times a game.

"After a game, I'm pretty beat up," he said. "My hands are swollen and my legs are beat, so I try to rest over the weekend. You get over it. You have fun."

Another reason Hull runs into so much traffic is that he's good at both jobs. He made 109 tackles as an inside linebacker two seasons ago and 117 as an outside linebacker and safety last season.

After earning Quad South first-team honors as a freshman linebacker, Hull joined the first team again last season as a sophomore running back. He led all WPIAL Quad-A rushers last season with 1,300 yards and added 14 touchdowns.
