George Fulton Pronunciation
TIFFANY ON FULTON
2025 – “The man continues to climb into greater roles of responsibility with our team. The past three years we have witnessed George’s ascent to today becoming a starting defenseman who is a voice we rely upon as he directs traffic with our multiple schemes. In our 10 Man ride, George is an invaluable asset as he patrols our secondary and is quite adept at intercepting opposing teams’ bombs. He is a wonderful testament to the developmental successes we all crave to observe in the young adults we surround ourselves with.” 2024 – “George is playing inspired lacrosse, “movin’ on up” the depth chart like the Jeffersons. Last year, he secured a spot on our Man Down unit and now in his third year here he is pressing for a starting spot on close defense. What are George’s greatest assets? His complete comprehension of our schemes and his voice make our team more cohesive. All of us are growing reliant on his commands as he has a great grasp of our defenses. George continues to be a disruptive on-ball cover defender and he effectively patrols the defensive airways with interceptions and knockdowns.” 2023 – “Despite a bump in the road with his progression this Fall due to an injury, much is anticipated of George’s future due to his enhanced lacrosse IQ and razor-sharp focus with studying and owning our schemes. George brings an infectious spirit everywhere he goes, and it translates to elevated energy around him. His length makes him a tougher beat for the dodger, and disruptive to opposing offensive ball movement. George returns full-go this spring, ready to challenge.” 2022 – “Comprehending our team defensive schemes at an excelled rate… Often found sharpening his knowledge in the film room or on the field with older teammates reviewing the slide packages… Difficult defenseman to get around… Uses good lateral movement and his length to deter the ball carrier from becoming free… The depth chart shows he is in the mix to play this Spring.”
