As a collegian, Fuller was a four-year letterwinner at Sacred Heart University (Fairfield, CT) playing for Coaches Gary Reho (1994-96) and Tom Radulski (1997). He earned Football Gazette all-American honors as a linebacker in 1996 and served as team captain in 1997 and was also a captain at the National All-Star Bowl (Cleveland, OH).

He coached the career-leading punt returner in the program's history, while his defense earned national top 10 finishes in both 2002 and 2003.

He joined the staff of Coach Dave Clawson at the University of Richmond in 2005 as assistant secondary coach and assistant special teams coordinator. The 2005 team won the Atlantic-10 Conference title (9-4) and earned an N.C.A.A. postseason berth and a final team ranking of No. 8 nationally.

In 2007 he was the special teams coordinator and linebacker coach. The Spiders finished as the Colonial Athletic Association (C.A.A.) champions (11-3) and advanced to the N.C.A.A. Final Four. He coached the conference's Special Teams Player-of-the-Year, while the team's defense was ranked No. 11 nationally.
