Matthew Stafford has something in common with country music superstar Luke Combs. Ray Fulcher would know.

He’s worked alongside both of them.

Fulcher’s new album, ‘Spray Painted Line,’ dropped earlier this week. He spoke with Marty Smith and me on Outsider’s Marty Smith Podcast about it.

Some background: Fulcher worked as a student assistant and a graduate assistant for Georgia football during the mid-2000’s.

Since then, one former Dawg went on to win a Super Bowl.

The other one went to Nashville and wrote a few number-one hits.

In that time, Ray Fulcher observed some undeniable talent

“There’s two times in my life where I’ve seen something the first time and I go, ‘That’s life-changing. That’s something I’ve never seen before. They’re built so different that there’s no way they can’t be successful,'” Fulcher said.

“And that is the first time I saw Matt Stafford throw a football when he was 17 years old as an early-enrollee at Georgia. And the first time I heard Luke Combs sing. There are just some things that you ain’t gonna get in the way of. And I think those are two of those things.”

Stafford has the NFL hardware to back it up. Luke Combs earns his every time he puts out a single that launches to number one on the country charts, in addition to his multiple ACM and CMA awards. He was also CMA’s 2021 Entertainer of the Year.

Ray Fulcher’s talent on display in Luke Combs’s music, and in his new album

You’ve probably heard the single, ‘Love Ya Son, Go Dawgs’ by now. If not, it’s on Fulcher’s album available everywhere. He’s a Damn Good Dawg. It’s a Damn Good Album. Georgia fans are sure to love that track.

In addition to his stories about Matthew Stafford and Luke Combs, Ray also shares some good stories about Kirby Smart’s intensity as the Dawgs’ running back coach in 2005, and shares how impactful an Eric Church show at the Georgia Theatre was in starting his career.

Here’s the podcast, on On3’s sister company, Outsider.
