More Touches for Tim Settle Please

Tim Settle shared the video of his fumble recovery run from the Hokies' closed scrimmage on April 16.

There's finally context to go along with this photo.

And it's easier to understand why 2017 DE target Jordan Williams was giddy over the 6-3, 344 Hokie defensive tackle getting on his horse trying to score

"Tim Settle, he had a scoop and almost-score, but got tackled at the three-yard line," Williams said, laughing at the thought of the rotund redshirt freshman nearly finding the end zone. "He had two batted balls. He had a great scrimmage, he was all over the field, he was even close to a sack at one point.".

Settle — a noted punt returner — would lead the nation in fat guy touchdowns if given the opportunity.

Nice top-end speed there. Hope we see that a few times during his career.

Who is 32? - it's Peoples

He comes flying in for the tackle. I don't know what I'm more impressed by, Settle's speed or People's tackle

John Madden Loves when a Fat Guy Scores because you get a Fat Guy Dance...

I can imagine no more rewarding a career. And any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction:
“I served in the United States Navy"

Fat Guy dances are the lowkey MVP of the sport.

You mean his Rookie and Sophomore seasons in the NFL?

Can we put him in on goal line running situations, like when Baylor used it's 410 lbs Tight End?

Does anyone know the source of this footage?

It appears like Tim recorded the video off his computer with his phone in a class discussing formatting for a paper.

I think you're right. It just looks like Tim recorded practice footage on his phone. I'm sure all of the players have access to film on their laptops. I remember my high school's football team did this in the mid to late 2000's.

Someone needs to notify the Piesman Trophy committee about Settle. I believe he's got to be a favorite for the award this year.
