Wing-T Trap
Wing-T Trap gives the ball to the fullback inside off the same backfield action as Buck Sweep. The halfback fakes the sweep outside to widen the defense, the playside tackle releases past the defensive tackle to climb to the linebacker, and the backside guard pulls flat behind the center to kick out the first lineman past the ball.
Part of the Trap play concept.
