Will Fuller Film Evaluation



Strengths
Fuller has elite ball-skills. He appears to come down with any jump ball thrown near him. In addition to his excellent hands, Fuller seems to have above average speed for a receiver. He is the type of player that catches a 4-yard hitch and turns it into a 40-yard gain. In the open field, he is shifty and quick. It would appear on film that he has all the tools needed to be a quality slot receiver at the collegiate level.

Weaknesses
A lot has been made about his lack of offers. Fuller was only offered by mainly mid-major programs other than Penn State and Boston College. He lacks the physical size needed to compete in the FBS Division. Currently, Fuller only weighs in at 165 lbs. At his height, he probably needs to add about 25 to 30 pounds. Many schools have discounted him for this reason. But, realistically, he could add that weight by his Junior year.

Overall, Notre Dame landed a project in Will Fuller. However, he should be an excellent two-year to three-year starter for the Fighting Irish. The three-star ranking given by most services is probably accurate based on the outlook for him.
