Although Tulsa has been dominant on the ground in recent years, being able to move the ball through the air and have a consistent passing game is something that the Hurricane is looking to get back. TU currently has four quarterbacks on the roster, and they know all too well that you can never be certain of the QB position.

Tulsa generally recruits at least one quarterback in each recruiting cycle, and 6-foot-4 and 185 pound Roman Fuller from Decatur, Texas, pledged his commitment to TU on June 3rd.

“When I walked on to campus, it felt like home," Fuller said. “The coaching staff has created a culture that is like family, and coming from a coaching family, it was a great experience. Tulsa has a great education, campus and facilities, and it felt like a great fit.”

Fuller, who plays for his father Mike, holds offers from Texas State among other programs that are still actively recruiting him. Tulsa officially offered Fuller in May, and it took less than a month and one visit on campus for him to know where he wanted to spend the next four to five years.

“Early in the summer, I visited Tulsa and attended football camp and made my decision shortly after that,” Fuller explained. “I canceled other trips and camps that I had planned because I knew Tulsa was where I wanted to be.”

Relationships are a big part of recruiting. It’s imperative that both sides feel comfortable throughout the recruiting process. Tulsa’s defensive coordinator Joe Gillespie and quarterbacks coach Beau Trahan have both been active in the recruitment of Fuller. Some of the best staffs can build relationships with all kids, regardless of them being their primary recruiter or not.

Tulsa, Fuller says, is a prime example of that.

“Of all the coaches I’ve come to know throughout this process, Coach Trahan is the one I felt the most in common with -- he is a coach’s kid just like me and played quarterback in high school,” Fuller said. “Every coach on the Tulsa staff has made me feel welcome, and I am looking forward to being a part of the team.”
