Chadron State College Athletics

Fults was both a football and baseball standout who became the first Chadron State athlete chosen as the Nebraska State College Athlete of the Year by the Omaha World-Herald. He was inducted into the Nebraska Football Hall of Fame in 2006.
Sometimes referred to as the Beaver City Bomber, Fults was a three-time all-conference and all-district selection and earned NAIA honorable mention All-American as a senior in 1978. During his career, he completed 407 of 830 passes for 5,658 yards and 34 touchdowns. He also rushed for 918 yards, by far the most for a CSC quarterback. That gave him 6,603 yards of total offense. He was just the second Nebraska collegiate player at any level to accumulate at least 6,000 yards in total offense. Marlin Briscoe of the University of Omaha was the first.
One of Fults’ best games was the Boot Hill Bowl at Dodge City, Kan., his senior year in 1978, when he led the Eagles to a 30-19 victory over Baker University. He completed 16 of 36 passes for 306 yards and two touchdowns and carried 12 times for 119 yards and another TD. He was awarded a set of mounted longhorns as the game’s outstanding offensive player  
Fults also was one of the Eagles’ all-time great baseball players. He had a .335 career batting average (111 hits in 331 at bats) and was the winning pitcher 16 times, the most in the program’s history.  As a senior, he had a 5-2 record and a 1.98 earned run average. He was placed on the all-district team twice.
Fults is in the cattle business near his hometown of Beaver City, Neb.
