Today is National Signing Day. Here is a look at the Fulton players who will be signing today with colleges at 2:15 in the FHS Auditorium. These players will join the 17 other Falcons who were on college rosters in 2015.
Kentel Williams
Kentel's athletic and academic resume is
impressive. He was a Class 4A Mr. Football Semi-Finalist, a two-time member of
the TSWA All-State team, the District 3-AA MVP, and an MVP of the Border Bowl a
few weeks ago. Kentel is magic with the ball in his hands. He accounted for 72
catches for 1324 yards and 12 TDs as a receiver in his career. He also got
plenty of touches as the Wildcat QB for the Falcons. He rushed for 867 yards
and 12 TDs in the past two seasons. Kentel also scored a combined eight TDs on
Special Teams and Defense. His athleticism should allow him to be an instant
contributor at the FCS level. We would call this an absolute steal for Austin Peay.
Matthew Gayle
Matthew was one of the most improved players for Fulton over his four years with the Falcons. His 6'3" size has been appealing for college coaches, and he will join Kentel Williams at Austin Peay. Matthew became a key contributor for Fulton along the defensive front in the second half of his junior year. His performance as a rush end during the 2014 playoff run earned him a coveted spot on the All-PrepXtra Team. In his career at Fulton, Matthew recorded 89 tackles, 32 takles for loss, and an impressive 10.5 sacks. He was a vital part of the Fulton defense and impressed with a strong performance in the Toyota East vs. West Tennessee All-Star Classic. Matthew is a Fulton legacy player, as he counts great former Falcons Jackie and Marshall Walker as relatives.
Joe Kimber
Joe Kimber will be signing with Hutchinson Community College in Kansas. The Blue Dragons have one of the top overall JUCO athletic programs in America. Joe has a tremendous upside which caught the attention of local recruiting analysts and college coaches. Kimber sat out his sophomore year of football and returned to the team in 2014. He was a major part of Fulton's receiver rotation in 2015, catching 16 passes for 387 yards and 5TDs. His size and frame gives him the ability to make big plays. Joe's Pick-6 against Catholic in the regular season put the final nail in the coffin of the Irish.
Congratulations also go to C/O 2014 Fulton QB Penny Smith who signed with Jacksonville State earlier today. Jacksonville St. played for the FCS Championship this year out of the Ohio Valley Conference. Penny started his college career at Chattanooga before transferring to a junior college last year.
We expect several other Falcons to sign in the coming days as they work out their scholarship packages. Congratulations to all of these players on this big day in Falcon Country.
