David James Tullis (b. Jan. 19, 1996) is a walk-on long snapper who enrolled this spring after two years at a junior college. He snapped for White in the spring game over Dalton Harman, suggesting Tullis will back up Drew Scott.

He earned second-team all-league and honorable mention All-State honors at safety, a position he also played at the JUCO level. He also played baseball, helping Derby to place fourth in the state championship in 2013.
Tullis then played two seasons at Butler Community College under head coaches Troy Morrell and Tim Schaffner.
He helped the Grizzlies to earn a combined 17-5 record in 2014 and 2015, including a 9-2 mark and a conference championship as a sophomore.
Tullis continues a JUCO pipeline that includes such recent contributors as Dylan Schellenberg, Chaquil Reed, Reed Bergstrom, Luke Hayes and Byron Pringle.
