SHERBURNE – A multi-sport star from Sherburne-Earlville High School recently committed to further both his football and academic career at St. John Fisher University, in Rochester.

“I liked what I saw when I went up and watched a game during the season, and I loved the campus. My overnight visit sealed the deal. The coaches and players definitely made me feel at home,” said S-E senior Matt Hull of his choice of St. John Fisher over other possible school's such as Kutztown University in Pennsylvania, and SUNY Cortland.

Hull was a renowned player on the Marauder varsity football and basketball teams. Hull proved to be a threat on both the offense and defense for the S-E football team. He was the starting tailback, as well as a starting linebacker for the Marauders.

Over his three-year career on the varsity football team, he amassed 2,170 total yards rushing, and scored 26 touchdowns. In addition, Hull also accounted for 412 yards, and four more touchdowns on the receiving end. His best year offensively came during his junior year, the 2015 season, where he rushed for 893 total yards, and seven touchdowns. As a senior Hull suffered an injury that cut his campaign short – he finished with 672 yards rushing in five games, adding in an astounding 10 rushing touchdowns.
