3-star WR has family ties to USF

With his older brother Tajee already an integral part of the USF football team, it's not a surprise that when the Bulls officially offered late last month, Class of 2016 three-star prospect Trey Fullwood began to feel the pressure from his family to join the school.

"They going to want me to go there," Fullwood said. "My brother wants me there, my mom wants me there but I'm going to go out and take a lot of visits and see everything I can."

The Tampa (Fla.) Sickles prospect made several visits to USF this past fall and said that he already feels like an honorary member of the squad.

"I already feel like everybody there is family because every time I'm up there everyone welcomes me," the 6-foot-2, 190-pound Fullwood said. "Every time I'm there, every time I'm in the locker room they treat me like I'm already a member of the team."

When USF offered late last month it was part of a flood of offers, that also included schools like UCF and Cincinnati. Fullwood said the offers from the Bulls and the Bearcats were the ones that stood out the most.

"I was most excited about USF and Cincinnati," he said. "I'm always excited to get new offers but I had been kind of waiting on those two."

While Fullwood is listed in the Rivals.com database as a wide receiver, he said the Cincinnati coaches - and several other schools - are recruiting him as an athlete for now.

"They asked me if I'd rather play offense or defense and I told them that honestly I'd like to play both," Fullwood said. "So for right now I guess they are recruiting me as an athlete and they can figure it out when I get up there. Honestly I prefer receiver. A lot of people like me at corner at a lot of schools are just telling me athlete right now."
