PHOTOS: John Fulkerson’s career at Tennessee – Vols Wire
John Fulkerson’s career at Tennessee has spanned six seasons at Tennessee (2016-22).
He is from Kingsport, Tennessee.
The 6-foot-9, 219-pound forward redshirted during the 2016-17 campaign, Rick Barnes’ second season as the Vols’ head coach. Fulkerson played in 10 games that season.
Fulkerson appeared in 30 contests in 2017-18 and 36 during the 2018-19 campaign.
He appeared in 31 games during the 2019-20 season before ending prematurely due to the coronavirus pandemic. Tennessee did not compete in the Southeastern Conference Tournament or the NCAA Tournament.
After playing in 25 games during his 2020-21 senior season, Fulkerson elected to return for a super season in 2021-22.
