Fuller became the first woman to score in a Power 5 game in December against the Tennessee Volunteers after kicking the extra point following a Vanderbilt touchdown.

The Vanderbilt women's soccer team's goalkeeper was recruited as a kicker after members of the Commodores football team had to quarantine due to COVID-19 policies. She tried out and did well enough to make the team.

However, Fuller played her first and last football games for the Commodores in 2020. She is expected to transfer to North Texas before the fall 2021 semester.
