Texas back heads to Big 10
Irving (Texas) Nimitz running back Phillip Fuller tore his ACL earlier this season. But that's not going to keep him from playing Division I football. The 5-foot-10, 180-pound running back said he's heading to the Big 10 after an in-home visit with coaches on Monday night.
"I'm committed to Wisconsin," Fuller said. "After my injury they were the only team to call me all the time and really show me a lot of interest.

"I just felt like it was the place for me to go."
Fuller said before he got injured he had offers from Colorado, TCU, Iowa and Iowa State, but they backed off of him after he was injured.
He is set to visit Wisconsin this upcoming weekend.
Fuller is one productive back - productive to the tune of 3,700 yards rushing and 42 touchdowns in his high school career heading into his senior season.
