Sarah Fuller Announces End To Her College Football Career
Lara Gwinn
Vanderbilt kicker Sarah Fuller had a short but historic college career with the Commodores football team. The senior played in a total of two games, and in that time became the first female to play in a Power 5 game and the first female to score in a Power 5 game. After her first game, Fuller was named SEC special teams player of the week and one of Sports Illustrated 2020 Sportspersons of the Year.
It looks like my time as a football player has come to an end. I would like to personally thank the entire Vanderbilt football team, coaches, and support staff for this amazing opportunity to be part of this program. I was accepted as an athlete and a true member of this team. This is an experience that I will never forget and cherish forever. Good luck to the seniors and staff who are moving on to new adventures. My best wishes to the team as this program moves forward and continues to grow.

Keep in mind, Fuller hadnât yet stepped foot on the field for her kickoff before giving this speech,â Joe Kinsey from Outkick wrote.
Kinsey also said:
If you were on the fence about whether Vanderbilt using soccer goalie Sarah Fuller as a fill-in kicker for Saturdayâs game against Missouri was a publicity stunt or a necessity, you got your answer on Sunday when it was announced that Fuller had given a halftime speech to her new teammates.
As for this speech, you mean to tell me that a kicker who was pulled off the womenâs soccer team and who started practicing with the football team on Tuesday was given the floor to lecture teammates on Saturday?
Other critics questioned Vanderbiltâs intentions after the locker-room speech story broke as well, but in a recent interview, Fuller took her critics in stride. âAt this point, like, what are you doing? You know? I am a [Division 1] soccer player. Iâm going to Vanderbilt University. Iâm getting my degree from here. Iâve done amazing things,â she said.
