There is a buzz in southern California centered upon the new QB in town, Class of 2021 talent Colt Fulton. The 6-4, 180-pound, gunslinger tore it up against his peer group competition during the 2017 season leading to high expectations going forward. A move in the offseason from Alta High School in Utah to Centennial High School in Corona has drawn regional recruiting interest from college scouts ready to see the ideal sized lefty at one of the nation’s premiere high school football programs this fall. A weekend trip back to his home state included unofficial visits to BYU, Utah, and Weber State after visiting Arizona State in late February. In a Recruiting News Guru exclusive, I sat down for a quick interview with Fulton getting the details on his visits while in Utah.

Colt, how are your offseason workouts coming along?

“Really-really well. I am getting used to everything at Centennial. I am getting stronger and quicker with their workouts.”

Where are you seeing the biggest gains with your offseason work?

“My overall strength, my arm strength, and strength in my lower body. I am also seeing improvement with my speed.”

What about with your technique and fundamentals, are you working on anything with that part of your game?

“With my QB work, I am just trying to keep it the same. I am throwing it well right now.”

Has Centennial started spring ball?

“Yes, we have.”

How is it going?

“Really well. We have a lot of new kids. We are trying to get use to the offense. Right now, we are just trying to learn everything.”

This weekend you went back home to Utah for a couple of visits. Where all did you go?

“I went to Utah (Saturday), BYU (Friday), and Weber State (Saturday).”

How did the BYU visit go?

What all did you do during the BYU visit?

“We got a tour of the facilities and then watched their practice.”

Did you learn anything new about the program or school during the visit?
