Homewood-Flossmoor had high hopes for this season. The Vikings boast an interior line with five D-1 prospects, most notably Zach Fulton, a 6-5, 325-pound, road-grader, that has given Tennessee his verbal commitment.
H-F made a ton of mistakes in the first half of a lopsided 34-18 loss but there were plenty of bright spots for head coach Ken Smith.
Fulton lined up at a guard position on Friday night and in addition to his ability to dominate the man in front of him in the running game, he showed excellent footwork in pass-pro.
I'm not one who's too much into comparisons but Zach Fulton has the potential and skill set to have a Shawn Andrews, Max Jean-Gilles type college career. If the chips fall the right way, we're looking at young man who will play on Sunday for sure.
Fulton's stock has been on the rise since mid-summer. Did that have anything to do with Tennessee offering him a scholarship after a strong showing at their summer camp? You be the judge.
Great get for the Vols but they will have to continue to recruit Fulton hard as several major D-1 programs have started to throw their hat in the ring. Should be interesting to see who else besides Tennessee calls the Fulton home on September 1st.
How strong is Fulton's commitment to Tennessee? Zach told me last night that he was verbally committed to Tennessee and he asked me to talk to his father (Glen Fulton). Mr. Fulton also said that Zach was going to Tennessee.
Zach's older brother and former University of Illinois offensive tackle Xavier Fulton looks like a good bet to be a Tampa Bay Buccaneer in 2009 which could open a door for a program in the Sunshine State to get at least an un-official or official visit.
You read between the lines. More on Homewood-Flossmoor and their gang of D-1 football prospects later.
