'10 IL OT Zach Fulton

Fulton must be better than the 5.6 rating given him by Rivals. If not he wouldn't have come out on top at the UT camp with all the guys they had. Evidently he was much better than OC Brown, who has been given a 5.8.

He is better than that rating. After winning MVP's at Illinois and UT, he is gauranteed to move up in the ratings. I would say somewhere in the 140-200 range on the Rivals 250...

Per Rivals... This pretty much confirms Fulton is all Vol. He wants to commit by the end of this month and just happens to be visiting UT againt on June 27th. It's all but a done deal. It appears that this staff has found a real hidden gem as well. He "dominated" the Nike Camp, was "head and shoulders above the other offensive lineman", and won the OL MVP honor in a "land-slide."

Was he making a general statement regarding someone playing for Monte Kiffin or does he plan on moving to defense? Just got confused by that.

Good question. It's an odd quote. I'm thrilled we might get a commit from him soon, but you'd also like for him to be excited about the O Coaches, not just MK.
After his performances at UT and UofI it looks like he might be able to help us more in the future than Stone or OC.

Weird thing is -- regarding playing for Monte Kiffin, he is projected as an offensive guard. I wonder what position we are recruiting him at? He lined up with the OL at camp.

Here's more from the same article:

"Zach Fulton is a top-notch, upper three star or four-star lineman," Tim O'Halloran, publisher of Rivals.com's Illinois preps site EdgyTim.com, said. "Physically, he is at the top of his game. He has worked hard this off-season. He is in much better shape than when I saw him during the year. Bloodlines, when you have a brother that just got drafted by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, to have that as a resource is huge. I thought he dominated. He was head and shoulders above the other offensive lineman."

think he was just talking in general about Monte...because technically Monte would still be one of his coaches. Oline all the way

It was just that the way he said it made it sound like he was going to be coached by Monte directly.


I assumed since you posted twice you wanted two responses. :p

It did sound kind of funny the way he said it, but I agree with the indirect coaching thing. Going up against the best coached d-line in the country can only help you as an o lineman.

Also, with the number of d-line commits we already have and the ones still on our board, I see no way that this kid would get switched to the other side of the ball. If anything, we'll be switching DT and/or DE recruits to the o-line.

No way. I agree. This kid is an offensive lineman all the way.

Fulton is an old-fashioned, brutal offensive lineman with a solid dose of athleticism mixed in. Easily the best OL at the camp, Fulton has ideal size at 6-5 and 300 pounds, plus tremendous strength. He can move his feet easily with a defensive linemen trying to go around him and he will stand up an opponent trying to bull-rush him. Fulton took home MVP honors.

Zack Fulton:

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. -- One of the standouts from Saturday's Nike Football Training Camp at Illinois was Zach Fulton (Homewood, Ill./Flossmoor), who won the camp's offensive line MVP award.

Fulton attended Tennessee's camp on June 1, and at the end of the camp he spent a half hour in Lane Kiffin's office and subsequently landed a scholarship offer from Tennessee. Fulton also has offers from Illinois, Indiana and Minnesota. He plans to attend Notre Dame's camp June 16 and would like to select a college in late June or early July. Fulton's brother, Xavier, was a starting lineman for Illinois the past two seasons, but the Illini have some catching up to do.

"Tennessee is probably my favorite," Fulton said during a break on Saturday in Champaign.

There was talk on Saturday that Fulton performed as well or better at the Tennessee camp than two highly regarded offensive linemen from the state of Tennessee, James Stone (Nashville, Tenn./Maplewood) and O.C. Brown (Memphis, Tenn./Manassas). Stone has scholarship offers from schools all over the country, including Tennessee, LSU, Florida State, Alabama and Notre Dame.
