Hogs add Fuldwider to wrap up early signing class

As expected, defensive end Nick Fulwider signed Friday to wrap up the early signing period for Arkansas.

Fulwider, a 3-star defensive end from Tyrone (Ga.) Sandy Creek, had previously been committed to North Carolina, but changed Tuesday night after an official visit in Fayetteville last weekend.

He had committed to North Carolina on Nov. 2.

“This official was amazing,” Fulwider told Otis Kirk of Hawgs247.com on Sunday. “I could not ask for anything more really. It was everything I expected plus more.

“Considering we don’t know who the D-line coach is and everything like that, I kind of came in with an uncertainty of like ‘oh, I don’t really know these coaches and I am going to feel like a stranger.’ But they showed me so much love from the time we walked in. I just appreciate the whole coaching staff. The coaches that Coach Morris brought in.”

Fulwider had 33 tackles, one sack and four quarterback hurries during his senior season and chose the Hogs over 27 other offers.
