Redshirt freshman running back Julius Gillick is making a name for himself at the Fresno State football camp this month.<\/p>\n
He\u2019s raising eyebrows with his running ability, but a play this past week caught his teammates\u2019 attention.<\/p>\n
On Tuesday, the Bulldogs ran the \u201cMidnight Alley\u201d drill, a high-intensity, short-yardage drill involving three offensive players and the running back against three defensive players.<\/p>\n
Gillick left everyone speechless when he hurdled over a teammate.<\/p>\n
Gillick ran to the edge, and instead of making contact, he leaped over him, leaving the Bulldogs celebrating and congratulating Gillick.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo one likes seeing a guy get hurdled,\u201d Fresno State linebacker Tytus Khajavi said. \u201cIn the video, you can\u2019t see me. I do point at the guy who got hurdled because I\u2019ve never seen a hurdle in my life, ever. When I saw it, I was like in shock. Whoa, like look, he got hurdled. We all know Gilli is a hard-nosed player. We\u2019re all thinking, he\u2019s ready to hit, but to put springs on jump, that had me impressed.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gillick played football at Edison High in Huntington Beach, where he helped his team win the 2024 CIF Division-IA championship over Central East.<\/p>\n
He appeared late in the Arizona Bowl against Miami (Ohio), where the Bulldogs won 18-3. He had two rushes for 16 yards.<\/p>\n
