wing-T

Offensive football scheme

The wing-T is an offensive formation in American football where a running back lines up just outside the tight end, creating a "wing" position.

The formation emphasizes misdirection, motion, and a balanced ground attack: They ran the wing-T to perfection, keeping defenders guessing on every play.

It remains popular at the high school level.
