Why? SI Reported he redshirted in 2017.


I don't think you can redshirt to cover a suspension.

Look at the LSU roster. He’s a senior. You cannot use a redshirt during an NCAA sanctioned suspension. This is his 4th playing year.

That was proven false.


No it wasn't. Not sure how people still screw this up.

Well, technically the house isn't in baton rouge, just outside of baton rouge. His brother is literally at Dunham right now though.

The confusion stems over back in like July Ricks was getting bothered via social media about him and his family moving to Baton Rouge. He responded to this by saying he wasn't moving to baton rouge, which was 100% correct, he ended up going to IMG in Florida to play football and go to school this fall. His family DID in fact buy a home near Baton Rouge and currently reside there with his little brother at school at Dunham.

Just to clear that up

I can't imagine usc being a contender for him.


there are many inexplicable decisions made in recruiting. Remember Surtains last minute flip to Bama. Never underestimate the power of a bag man to put in an offer that is to big to refuse. I am sure that a school like USC has some powerful big money boosters, probably even more so than a school like Bama, though probably not as dogged and prevalent.

Surtain was never verbally committed here, just to clarify that. Wasn't a "flip" technically, he just ultimately chose Alabama despite leading us along the entire way thinking it was definitely us.

I really REALLY hope Jefferson/Chase/Terrace abuse Surtain for massive yardage and TDs this November. Just sayin

That’s more solid that if they had done it figuratively. I feel better.

Fulton is projected 1st round.

He will be leaving barring some type of injury situation. Even then he may go.

Pretty sure his brother isn't of high school age yet.

Yeah his brother isn't of high school age yet I believe, keep in mind for those that don't know, Dunham isn't just high school, middle school and lower school too.

Here's a recent picture of the family:


His brother is maybe 12-13?

The only way Fulton can stay is if we literally don't play him again but 1 more time this season to get a redshirt under that new rule, which obviously isn't happening.

2016: Played in 3 games his freshman year, no redshirt
2017: Suspended all year, clock still running per NCAA rules, couldn't take redshirt
2018: Played in 10 games
2019: Played in 3 games so far...so unless he only plays in 1 more his eligibility will be out this year

Sonny/Shea multiple insiders on 247 all mentioned it when it happened back in June, they bought the house then. One guy knows the real estate agent they used

A few on here have mentioned his brother being at Dunham as well.

Unless you think it's all 1 big elaborate lie, not sure what to tell you.

Do you think there's an article with a picture of his family in front of a house they bought in BR or something? There's not. But again, was mentioned many times on 247 and was written into at least 1 article there the family bought a house in June in Baton Rouge area and that his brother was going to be enrolled in Dunham. Not going to dig for stuff that far back to find it, but it was definitely mentioned.

Sonny/Shea and those guys wouldn't lie about that, as well as a couple of the board insiders. They wouldn't stake their reputation on being wrong about something as silly as that.
