Kingsport’s John Fulkerson to sign endorsement deal with Pal’s Sudden Service

An NCAA ruling made in June allowed college athletes to sign endorsement deals for additional income.

Kingsport’s John Fulkerson is expected to announce such an arrangement on Monday with iconic fast-food chain Pal’s Sudden Service.

Fulkerson announced in April he would return to Tennessee for a sixth season as part of a COVID-related rule change by the NCAA. Fulkerson has recovered from a concussion and facial fracture suffered during the SEC Tournament.
