extended camp circuit he will be on the radar of colleges throughout the southeast.

The son of a NFL champion, Fullington's recent moves have caused him to be
overlooked in the recruiting world.
Fullington spent all of last week in Georgia splitting time between
Georgia and Georgia Tech camps.
"The Georgia camp was good. I liked it a lot," Fullington said. "I learned a lot of new techniques, and I got to meet Coach
(Mark) Richt and work a lot with Coach (Scott) Lakatos."
Fullington is the younger cousin of former Georgia safety
Kelin Johnson who is still heavily involved with the Georgia program.
Johnson to was underrated after moving while in high school.
"He talks to me about recruiting and gives me a lot of tips," Fullington said. "He tells me to get my video out and go to camps and that it is very important to have a good senior season."
"He took me around the campus and to downtown Athens and basically showed me the Georgia program and I enjoyed my visit a lot." Fullington said.
Fullington's father
Darrell Fullington won two national championships at Miami and played seven years in the National Football League.
"My dad played free safety at Miami and won two national championships in 83 and 87," Fullington said. "He played for Minnesota and Tampa Bay in the NFL, and he takes me out every weekend to work out and work on my technique to get better as a football player."
Although Fullington does not have any offers he is camping all over the southeast and he is hearing the most from two schools in particular.
"I have been to Georgia Tech,
FIU, Georgia and I am going to FSU, and Boston College," Fullington said. "Vanderbilt and
Rice are the schools that are recruiting me the most right now."
Even though Fullington is working towards an offer he is focused on helping his Cypress Bay team to a good season.
"We went 5 and 5 last year so we definitely want to improve and win district and the state championship," Fullington said. "I had 37 tackles and 2 interceptions last year so I want to improve in any way I can that helps my team win."
