Wing-T
Glenn Warner, or as he was better known; Pop, laid the ground work for this formation with his single wing
offense. At a time when everyone was concerned with overpowering their opponents, Pop Warner sought to
trick it.
Over time, it evolved into the Wing-T, which has been made famous by University of Delaware Coach Harold
Tubby Raymond. Often considered one of the best misdirection formations in the game, it has fallen out of
favor in the pro game in recent years, but is still very effective at the youth level.
The wing T has a classic offensive line setup, with 2 guards, 2 tackles, a center, and the quarterback behind
center. Its characterized by having a wingback just off of your tight end on the strong side, and a split end lined
up on the weak side. The tailback and the fullback can move around a little bit, but are generally split, and can
often end up offset to the strong or weak sides as well.

Play Strategy
This is a great play to run no matter where you are on the
field and what situation youre in but its especially
effective when the LBs are lined up deeper than normal.
Try running the bootleg from this set as well once youve
run the Trap a couple of times.
