Legion Linebacker Wyatt Fulton Sits Down with Las Vegas Radio Station
[1350 Words / Ready to Grade][/div]
HP: Hello Vegasites. I’m Hugo Parks with KPLV, your stop for all things Vegas Sports. Thank you for joining us tonight on LegionAIRs. Our guest today is newly signed linebacker Wyatt Fulton. Fulton has spent the last three years in Yellowknife and Colorado, and brings his talents to Vegas. Welcome Wyatt, thanks for joining us today.
WF: Pleasure to be here, Hugo.
HP: I know that you and your ex-teammate at Colorado State and Colorado Philippe Carter planned on signing together with the same team. So tell us, what made you choose Las Vegas?
WF: When Philippe and I realize we were hitting Free Agency the same year, we felt like it would be great to help a team build from the ground up and both of us truly did dislike playing apart for Season 3. So when Free Agency opened we got multiple offers each from teams. We talked it over and returned to these teams and told them what our intentions were and exactly what we wanted. Money wasn’t a huge issue for either of us as we are making large sums on endorsement deals, Philippe especially, but I don’t blame people for wanting gear from one of the premier players in the league like Phil. We had a few teams that felt like good fits for us. Our former teams in Yellowknife and Arizona came calling and they sat near the top of our list. Las Vegas came out of the blue with a great pitch and some great young personnel that we thought we could really help hit their peak.
HP: So it seems like no other teams really came close to landing you all. What were their pitches like and what was the day like when you actually decided to bring your skills to Sin City?
WF: Not really. We heard some good pitches from a few other teams but nothing that felt as genuine as what we heard from the teams I mentioned before. Las Vegas, as an expansion team, has been quite bad through it’s first two seasons. Phil and I definitely took that into consideration when deciding to sign there. But this season they look to be on a huge upward trajectory with some great young pieces. If we signed with Arizona we would definitely have been more likely to win a championship, something Phil knows first hand, but we decided it was better to be part of a team building to that ultimate goal instead of lucking into signing with a team that is already there. Las Vegas gives us the perfect situation to be the foundation on which elite teams are built.
HP: You had your best season in the league last year with Yellowknife. I, personally, was surprised you’d leave the team at all - considering you played very well in the Yellowknife lineup and could continue on an upward path. What was it about the Wraiths that helped you play more up to your potential as a linebacker and why the move away from a team that seemed to be home for you?
WF: Well before I say anything about this situation. I would like to take this time to thank all of the Wraiths players and management people. You took me from a difficult situation and gave me a home, temporary at that, but you gave me a place I could feel happy to call home. Yellowknife is a small place but the fans have so much heart. People would flock from hours around to fill up our small stadium and cheer us on. Everything about Yellowknife is quaint and personal. The team is great and so are the managers. I credit this atmosphere for me really blossoming in S3. I was allowed to be Wyatt Fulton on the team. They did everything they could to help me be the best linebacker as possible. I want them to know how grateful I am for the time I spent there. But the move to Las Vegas was one out of necessity for me as a player. I feel like my best chance to grow is on a team like the Legion. They are ripe with the need for a leader. Phil and I can bring that, and they are building the right way. They love their players, as I have seen from being here for a short time already. I’m extremely happy for my decision to sign with the Legion. I feel like if this team continues showing me the love they have this season they may have a player for life.
HP: So some people have said that, despite your great play on Sundays, your focus has seemed a bit off lately. What has the multi-talented Wyatt Fulton been up to that has taken his focus away from football of late?
WF: Music, mostly. I have my own band that I have started and my off days are hugely focused on my band. We’re Progressive Folk Metal band called Crimson Sphere. I feel like my focus on making time for the other members of the band have really been a detriment to my football career. But I wouldn’t say it’s all bad. The time I spend singing and playing the guitar gives me that zen moment I really crave. Recently though, especially with reuniting with Phil and moving to Las Vegas, have started focusing on solo music. I get the flexibility to really focus on my training for football, but I also get that zen musical feeling without having the “put the band together”, like it has been the last few years. My own music is definitely a lot more chilled out than that I would make with Crimson Sphere. I like to play a bit more calm 80s inspired stuff, you might have heard some of the emerging genre called Synthwave. I find myself creating some very mellow pieces of music that could be placed in that genre.
HP: Oh cool! We hope you’ll be willing to share some of your music with KPLV. We have also heard you’re kind of a new agey kind of guy. An interview a while back pointed out that you’re kind of earthy guy with a focus on some, I guess you could call it - unique - practices. Do you think you could tell us a bit about that?
WF: *laughs* I have been asked about this a lot. Yeah, I’ll gladly share. Some people are really confused to find out a big hulking football player that probably has bulging neck veins is the kind of guy who finds a connection with nature. A lot of people in these circles have some pretty solid labels on their spiritualism, but I am not like that at all. If you would label what I believe it would be something closer to Neo-Druidism. I am not going to go out on the weekend and sacrifice a goat. But I just like to tell people because I have quite a few tattoos and would prefer them not to think I am some devil worshipper.
HP: I guess wrapping this up we would like to give you a chance to say whatever is on your mind, Wyatt. So feel free.
WF: Thank you for this. I am just very happy to have been a part of all the times I have been on in the past few years. Everyone has been absolutely wonderful. From the Yeti, the Wraiths, and now the Legion, everyone is just amazing. And I couldn’t have asked for better teammates everywhere I have gone. I’ve been very fortunate. This season in Las Vegas is going to be fantastic and I cannot wait to get onto the field in the new jersey. Get ready for a surprising season, Vegas fans! We’re going to kill it!
