2018 Georgia DE Waiting To Hear From Irish

Nick Fulwider hasn’t had extensive contact with Notre Dame to this point, but the 2018 Georgia defensive end is expecting to hear from the Irish during the May Evaluation Period.

“They should be coming up,” the 6-foot-7, 245-pounder said.

Fulwider’s current offer sheet includes schools like Louisville, Tennessee, North Carolina State, Mississippi State, Ole Miss, Duke, Arkansas, Maryland, Georgia Tech, Iowa State, Minnesota, Indiana and Vanderbilt among others.

“I don’t have an exact number,” he said of his offers. “It’s pretty good, but I think when it comes closer to the time for me to commit, it’s going to be tough for me to narrow it down. But the ride right now is pretty fun.”

College coaches like Fulwider’s frame and how he uses it at the position.

“They like that I use my hands a lot, that I’m quick off the ball and how long I am and my ability to stay low even with how tall I am,” he said.

Notre Dame is a school he’s had interest in for a while now.

“It’s a really good academic school, which my mom loves,” he said. “A couple of my friends actually went to Notre Dame for a visit. I saw the pictures and it looked like it was awesome up there, so that also caught my eye.”

The Sandy Creek High School standout would like the chance to see South Bend for himself.

“I’d like to see the activities around the campus where me and the team could go hang out and eat after a game and things like that,” Fulwider said. “I’d like to see how the coaches react to me and just stuff like that.”

He acknowledges some schools are sticking out, like Arkansas, Vanderbilt and Tennessee, but isn’t formally naming any favorites.

“I don’t have an exact list,” he said.

He’s already taken a handful of visits.

“I went to Georgia Tech, South Alabama, Tennessee, Vanderbilt and Louisville,” he said. “They were pretty fun. Some of those colleges were really big, some not so big, but all of them, I loved the experience.”

He’s planning to make a decision sometime in the middle or toward the end of his senior season.

“Besides the football part, it’s the fact that I can graduate from a school with a really good degree and be able to take care of myself even if I don’t go as far as I want to when it comes to football, like I’ll be able to find a really decent-paying job.”
