On a beautiful spring day, May 15, 2007 to be exact, Corbin was welcomed by his parents Fantasia Jacobs-Fuller and Lucas Fuller. His grandparents are Talisa and Kevin Jacobs and Ron and Jane Fuller.
Corbin joined siblings Averiana Jacobs-Fuller, Cooper Jacobs-Fuller, Taylor Fuller, and Currey Jacobs.
He has been a member of the Class of 2025 since preschool. He has participated in football, wrestling, track, and baseball. He received 2nd team all-district honors in football. He was also a part of the 2024 Homecoming court. When not at school, Corbin enjoys disc golfing.
Corbin’s most special moment was when he beat a ranked wrestler at the home wrestling meet this year. Corbin relates his most embarrassing memory, “I wore my brand-new white shoes to school and dropped a strawberry shake on them.”
He feels that the most special thing about his class is that they all get along for the most part. His advice to the underclassmen is “try hard or not … I don’t care. You’ll pass anyway …”
For his special person, Corbin picked his mom. Of her he says, “I’d like to recognize my mom because she always was on me to do my work when I didn’t want to.”
Corbin is looking forward to “the fast approaching” graduation. His plans for next year are to start his lineman apprenticeship.
Tiger nation wishes Corbin the best as he starts his life after high school. Here’s to a bright future!
