’26 IOL has played from G to FB offensively and from DE to MLB on defense
Brayden Fultz is coming into his senior year and may be coming into his own. The Jaguars claim he got run in only five (5) games in ’24 but it will be difficult to not play 6’0,” 290-pounds of an interior guy who bench presses 315, squats 505, and power cleans 255. On top of that, Fultz is sufficiently mobile enough to log some time on offense at FB and man the MLB post in the defense’s second level from time to time. On top of all of that, Fultz carries a 3.0 GPA making him both very recruitable and a cinch to make it through the NCAA Clearinghouse. We like this player, heading into his senior year and applaud the efforts to plug him into the interior OL at center. This kid is a natural center and projects next level at that post.

London, KY: Brayden Fultz is a specimen entering his last go-around the KHSAA. If Coach Steven Nelson’s Jaguars are going to make an even deeper dent in Class 5A’s eighth district than the 5-7 record posted in ’24, the team will need much more production out of the 290-pounders on the roster.
Last season, Fultz got run in five (5) varsity contests. Notwithstanding that, he did well on the OL in spot duty and was fairly effective along the defensive front (eight (8) tackles).
When you look at Fultz’s numbers, you have ever reason to be excited about what he can bring to the table. How many linemen around the KHSAA weigh 290, bench press 315, back squat 505, and power clean 255? Not too many.
Fultz is only 6’0″ tall and that is cause for some concern. Colleges like their centers two to three inches taller than that.
However, we have seen some mighty fine college centers and even some pros who were very effective notwithstanding being on the shorter side. “Iron” Mike Webster, from the University of Wisconsin in college and the Pittsburgh Steelers in the NFL was 6’0,” and he’s enshrined in Canton, OH. So, there is that…
Fultz spots a 3.0 GPA…which colleges love to see
Fultz’s X-Account
Fultz sports a 3.0 GPA. Colleges love to see prospects who can do it in the classroom and leaves little to chance the program is about to offer a kid who will struggle to maintain academic eligibility.
As for next level, it is hard to forecast where Fultz may fit. He is being courted and by very good small college programs. We don’t have any problem seeing him at that level or higher should some D-1 FCS to Mid-major like to take a swing at a guy with a decent frame and high-level power, strength, and explosion.
Either way, this is a guy who will be counted on to help the Jaguars achieve its goals in ’25. This guy has done the offseason work to flourish. Now it is just time to play.
