The Fairhope, Ala. native, began his collegiate playing career with Troy University from 2013-2016. Fuller was a member of the 2013 Troy team that finsihed 42-20 overall, won a Sun Belt championship and secured a spot in the NCAA Regional Tournament.

The 2018 team appeared in the NCAA Regional Tournament in Athens, Georgia to highlight their success. Other notable outfield accolades, which Coach Fuller was directly involved with, included 2018 All-American & Sun Belt Player of the Year right fielder, Joey Denison; Rawlings Gold Glove center fielder Brandon Lockridge; and 2018 Freshman All-American left fielder, Rigsby Mosley. Cerny was also named a 2019 Freshman All-American the following season.
