Lane Kiffin is very good at Twitter, and since taking over Florida Atlantic’s football team this season, the head coach has used his Twitter to try and get people to come to the school — or, as he tweets, #thefaU.

All in the name of publicity and to get people talking about his Owls, Kiffin has even tried to recruit people to come play for him, including Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson. Now, he seems to be going after MMA fighter Conor McGregor.

While playing up Florida Atlantic’s undefeated Conference USA record as the Owls look to go 8-0 with a win Saturday against the Charlotte 49ers, Kiffin tagged McGregor in his tweet to get him to come play fullback for him.

Great idea on Kiffin’s part for publicity, but there’s one big problem with this hypothetical recruit. McGregor hovers around 150 pounds, weighing in at 153 ahead of his August fight against Floyd Mayweather.

Not only is that dangerously small for a fullback, but, according to Florida Atlantic’s roster, McGregor would be the lightest person on it by a couple pounds. Freshman wide receiver Willie Wright is listed as 5-foot-8 and 155 pounds and is noticeably the lightest player.

Kiffin gets props for being creative and continuing to go after (hypothetical) big fish, but he may want to rethink the idea of a 150-something-pound fighter playing fullback.
