Fuqua is rated as the No. 438 prospect in the country and No. 29 safety by 247. The 6-foot-1, 190-pound defensive back is the No. 14 prospect in Michigan and also holds offers from Syracuse, Temple, Toledo, Army, Buffalo, Akron and a few other FBS programs.

Fuqua took an unofficial visit to Michigan State for the first weekend of the season and projects as a rising player in the 2019 class. He is the fifth safety in the 2019 recruiting class to earn an offer from the Cyclones.
