His speed has noticeably increased between his sophomore and junior years, indicating growth and development as a player. Che is solid in the open-field, possessing the physical strength to execute solid tackles. He has sharp hip movement and can quickly change direction when tracking the ball.

When run blocking, he has a knack for locking on to defenders and driving them back, finishing the play with authority. Although he could refine his kick sliding technique, his sheer strength often compensates for any weaknesses. On the defensive side, Fred is a high-motor player who attacks the ball aggressively, but he could improve his pad level when coming out of his stance. All in all, Fred's potential to play at the next level is significant, and with continued development, he could become a force to be reckoned with.u003c/spanu003eu003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["386266"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"u003cp class=u0022p1u0022u003eu003cspan class=u0022s1u0022u003eDeston displays big playmaking potential on both sides of the ball.

He's got reliable hands and a good frame to box out DBs on receptions. He‘s got adequate ball skills that allow him to catch TDs at WR and Ints on defense.

He is physical and moves well for his size. When he puts his weight behind a block, he can overpower the defender. He also has a strong punch that will improve with more weight training. Fullmore should be mindful of managing his bodyweight as he continues to grow and improve. Overall, I like Fullmores potential to develop into a D2 O-lineman. u003c/spanu003eu003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":7,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6449d2eb4ce59"} /-->
