ST. JOSEPH – Missouri Western head football coach Matt Willamson has announced the promotion of Derek Fulton to offensive assistant and special teams coordinator.

Fulton served as an offensive graduate assistant at Missouri Western the past two seasons. He worked with quarterbacks both seasons and also worked with wide receivers during the 2017 season.

“I’m really happy we were able to add Derek to our full-time staff,” Williamson said. “He’s mature beyond his years and proved his abilities working with some of our offensive skill positions last year.”

Fulton went 41-6 as a four-year starter at quarterback for Grand View University, leading the team to the 2013 NAIA National Championship. He was named the Heart of America Athletic Conference Player of the Year in 2014 and 2015 and was a 2014 AFCA NAIA All-American.

A native of Daveport, Iowa, Fulton graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Sports Management from Grand View and a master’s in sport and fitness management from Missouri Western.
