Aaron Rainey 6'0 230 LBS FB Bessemer City HS

Aaron Rainey was a terror at fullback during his tenure at Bessemer City. "Aaron is a big, physical fullback that can do it all," said Hester. "Rainey can run, catch, and block upfield."

Describing Rainey as physical is probably a mild adjective. His Bessemer City teammates nicknamed the 6'0 230 pound fullback "The Bull."

He rushed for a team-high 964 yards and 19 touchdowns for the Yellow Jackets in a banner senior season. It should be noted that the all-conference pick also started at linebacker for Bessemer City, collecting 104 tackles, 20 tackles for loss, five sacks, three fumble recoveries, and one interception.

Rainey is being honored for that banner season with an invitation to the annual NC East-West All-Star Classic in Greensboro, NC.

He was also drawing interest from FCS Appalachian State and Western Carolina of the Southern Conference.
